U.S. League Finals for the 2005 World Cup Finals

Peters and Reid Dominate Grand Prix Tour

There were some outstanding rides at the CDI, even outside the League Finals.

The Canadian representative to World Cup, Leslie Reid, brought her Dutch Warmblood partner, Mark, (by Edison) and proceeded to win the CDI Grand Prix. Mark, Reid’s partner at Athens, has developed even since then, his new power allowing for greater engagement, more expression in the piaffe and passage.

Steffen Peters (fifth in the League Final with Athens partner, Floriano) was second with his latest Grand Prix star,the Holsteiner gelding, Lombardi II. This horse appears to have it all—piaffe, passage pirouettes, and elasticity. A little more strength and seasoning and he will definitely be hard to beat, in any company.
