While watching the second round in dressage our reporter and photographer for the Pan American Games, Diana De Rosa wrote her observations, as if she did not have enough to do to keep her busy. As the person who has covered every Olympic Games, World Equestrian Games, and Pan American games for HorsesDaily.com since we began in 1997, Diana has the knowledge and understanding of all disciplines, although she admits Dressage is not her strongest sport. Given there was no live streaming of the event, we wanted to share her observations and some detail with our readers.

In the press conference after the awards ceremony for the Dressage team medals at the Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, Olympic veteran Steffen Peters admitted he was worried. Even though the U.S. sent a top level team to the Games to help insure their victory, Canada had sent an equally strong team. A team that was good enough to beat the Americans. While in the end it was Team USA that took the Gold Medal and their ticket to next year’s Olympic Games in Rio, it could just as easily have been Canada standing on that center podium.

Caledon, Ont. – Excellent performances by all four members of the U.S. Pan American Dressage Team over two days at the 2015 Pan American Games resulted in a Team Gold medal win and direct qualification for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The team, composed of Sabine Schut-Kery and Alice Womble’s Sanceo and Kimberly Herslow and Kiroli Enterprises LLC’s Rosmarin in the Small Tour, and Laura Graves and her own Verdades and Steffen Peters and Four Winds Farm’s Legolas 92 in the Big Tour, was focused and consistently excellent to end on an overall score of 460.506. Both Graves and Herslow marked personal best scores in the FEI Grand Prix Special and Intermediaire I tests, respectively.

Caledon, Ont. – The U.S. Pan American Dressage Team took the lead today by a narrow margin over Canada in the first day of team competition at the 2015 Pan American Games. Ten teams entered the main arena at the Caledon Equestrian Park to perform the FEI Prix St. Georges test and FEI Grand Prix test before the ground jury of Elizabeth McMullen, Lilo Fore, Hans Christian Matthiesen, Maribel Alonso, and Stephen Clarke. Thirty-four competitors rode in the Prix St. Georges with the United States’ Kimberly Herslow and Sabine Schut-Kery placing third and seventh, respectively, overall.

After a fifth-place finish in Friday’s hard-fought Prix St. Georges class, Sabine Schut-Kery and Alice Womble-Heightman’s bay Hanoverian stallion Sanceo (San Remo x Rivera by Ramiro’s Son II) returned to winning form in the Intermediaire I Freestyle at theCalifornia Dreaming Productions’ Capistrano Dressage International CDI-W/Y/J/U-25 on a score of 73.950%.

Over two days due to the large number of entries, the FEI Prix St. Georges class sponsored by the Chesapeake Dressage Institute produced the top three results all from the USA. Sabine Schut-Kery (USA) won the large class of 48 aboard 2006 Hanoverian stallion Sanceo, scoring a 71.184%.
