Trilogy Dressage Saddles sponsored the FEI Young Rider Individual class, and Davis rode away with a beautifully embroidered Trilogy quarter sheet for her win.
“Everything I am today I owe to this horse,” Davis said, describing her partnership with Bentley, a 16.2 hand, 17-year-old Danish Warmblood. “I rode him a little conservatively in the Individual test, but I was still pleased with how it went.”
Davis began her dressage career when she was only seven years old, and competed in her first FEI class at the age of 11. She competed in the 2006 and 2007 NAJYRC in the FEI Junior Division and in 2008 as a Young Rider, winning the Team Silver for Region 8. Davis began riding Bentley, who was Kassie Barteau’s 2006 NAYRC Team Silver partner, in October of 2008.
The world-renowned equestrian spectacular, Cavalia, is currently hosting their amazing show in Tampa, FL.
The world-renowned equestrian spectacular, Cavalia, to debut in Tampa this March where love, beauty, respect and harmony will be celebrated under its White Big Top
TAMPA, FLORIDA – (March 19, 2010) – Tampa is currently experiencing what more than 2.5 million people in Europe, Canada, and U.S. cities including Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boston, Atlanta, and most recently, Miami have been astounded by the extravagant multimedia equestrian celebration for the eyes and ears that is Cavalia. Guests who attend the show will “ooh” and “ahh” in amazement at the beauty of the more than 60 4-legged artists in this eclectic cast. Crowds will cheer and rise in their seats during the incredible performances of some 40 2-legged artists, including acrobats, aerialists, riders, musicians and dancers. From March 12 – March 21, 2010 under the White Big Top at the Florida State Fairgrounds an exquisite, fast-paced, unforgettable 120-minute performance featuring the harmony between horse and man will find its home.
This spectacular production was created by Cirque du Soleil co-founder, Normand Latourelle, and is often compared to Cirque for the way it revolutionizes equestrian and performing arts, much like Cirque revolutionized the circus. Cavalia will stop in Tampa, as it makes the rounds to major cities on its North American tour, after touring in Europe for two years. “I had the opportunity to bring Cirque du Soleil for the first time to Florida in 1989,” says Normand Latourelle, Cavalia founder and artistic director. “I am extremely proud to introduce a new type of show to Tampa over 20 years later. I hope that the people will embrace Cavalia’s magic as much as they did two decades ago with cirque.”
