Hillary Dobbs at the 2010 Washington International Horse Show
Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs’s daughter Hillary showed her wining style at the 2010 Washington International Horse Show in DC the last week. The 22 year old, who lives between Palm Beach, FL and Sussex, NJ, competed as “The Flash” aboard Marengo placing in second during always colorful and exciting $20,000 Gambler’s Choice Costume Class. Rodrigo Pessoa won the class, decked out in an authentic Formula One racing outfit, complete with helmet. Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s daughter Georgina (also of Palm Beach and NYC) placed 6th, in a full nun’s habit. The 3rd place ribbon in the costume class went to Shane Sweetnam, who partnered with Dobbs to win Saturday night’s $15,000 Open Jumper Pair Relay.

I find it difficult to get local participants to get into the spirit of the horse show and join in the costume class. I’m glad that ‘the big guns’ are bringing back the fun and into the horse show.
The Gambler’s Choice is always an exciting class, a real crowd pleaser. It must have been double-y so with the colorful costumes.
