The 2013 World Dressage Masters in West Palm Beach brought some drama and disappointment for several competitors as well as for the spectators who missed seeing some of their favorite horse and rider combos. In the CDI5* division current World Champion Edward Gal of the Netherlands stepped off the plane feeling ill, was diagnosed with the flu and was unable to compete. Another rider expected to compete, Nicholas Fyffe of Australia, had to stay home because his horse was being treated for a skin condition and was not eligible due to the FEI drugs and medication rules.

Tina Konyot of the U.S., who rode her 15-year-old Danish Warmblood stallion Calecto V in the WDM CDI5* Grand Prix, was eliminated by the Ground Jury after completion of their test. The official statement issued by the show management regarding Tina’s elimination: “Upon review of the process and after consultation with the FEI, it has been confirmed that the current rules regarding the elimination process were followed to the letter. Before she left the official equipment check area ringside, the rider was informed by the FEI Chief Steward that the Judge at C had made the decision based on Article 428.8 and Article 430.7.6 that the horse must be eliminated due to the evidence of fresh blood.”

What a great gift for Panther Ridge Conservation Center!
