Wellington, Fla. (February 13, 2012) – Dressage rider Shawna Harding was in the spotlight at the Gold Coast Dressage Opener CDI thanks to numerous winning rides aboard Rigo, an 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by Tonya Rowe. Harding and Rigo captured the blues in the FEI Prix St. Georges, the FEI Intermediaire I and the FEI Intermediaire I Freestyle.
The dynamic duo also took home the Vita Flex Victory Pass Award, sponsored by Vita Flex Nutrition, makers of animal health supplements, antioxidants, electrolytes, joint supplements, performance products, topicals and vitamins and minerals. “Rigo is a full brother to my Grand Prix horse and he’s really super. We bought him at a Hanoverian auction in Germany as a five-year-old,” Harding said. “He’s going really well and we are gearing up for the Grand Prix with him so this will be his last season in the small tour.”
