World Cup Dressage Finals
Grand Prix Photo Tour: George Williams and Rocher
Claim a USET Position
 Rising
star on the American dressage firmament is George Williams
with his Westphalian mare Rocher (by Rolls Royce). The
dynamic duo just missed out on a spot on the 2002 American
World Equestrian Games' team, but did not give up hopes
for USET team membership. Winning the 2002 Dressage
at Devon CDI with high 70% scores, and dominating the
World Cup Qualifier in Wellington, Florida, George Williams
and Rocher could not be ignored as America's newest
hope and was selected as one of three riders to represent
the U.S at the 2003 World Cup Dressage Finals.
Williams shipped Joanne Smith's mare Rocher to Germany,
March 9, to train a little more with Klaus Balkenhol
before travelling to Goteborg for the Finals. The combination
had a test ride at the CDI Dortmund where they did well,
but were had the "lowest" score of the American
riders. This changed in the Grand Prix in Goteborg.
Williams scored 69.92% (finished fifth) and did better
than USET established team member Guenter Seidel.
