FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE
It will come as no surprise that
Stransky Mission Farm
’s grand prix
rider
Hector Florentino
celebrated his
birthday at a horse show! He began
the day by coaching his son
Victor
to
the blue ribbon in the puddle jumpers
aboard
Hero
and then mounted up to
pilot
Anemone’s Vicky
to top ribbons
in the open stakes. It was only when
the horses were comfortably back
in their stalls that Hector was able
to kick back and relax with his lovely
wife
Eve
and good friends, including
Pablo Barrios
, over cocktails and
cake. His birthday wish was fulfilled a
few days later when he flew to Peru
to represent the Dominican Republic
aboard Anemone’s Vicky at
The XVII
Bolivarian Games.
Congratulations to
Silver Creek’s
Validation
, on winning the 6 Year
Old Consolation class (177 starters)
at the
World Breeding Jumping
Championships for Young Horses
.
He was born, bred and raised on North
American soil.
Andrew Ramsey
of the
USA won the 7 Year Old Consolation
class (64 starters) on his homebred,
Lilly
. Way to go!
