Steeped in Luck traveled with trainer Tom Dvorak to Wellington, Florida, in mid-January. Their first show was the Gold Coast Dressage Opener the last weekend in January where they competed at Fourth Level. Tom and Steeped in Luck were only able to compete two of the three days. Steeped in Luck was 4th on day one and 2nd on day two.
This past weekend, Steeped in Luck competed at Fourth Level at the Wellington Classic Spring Challenge. His competitiveness improved daily placing 4th on Friday, 3rd on Saturday and 1st on Sunday. Steeped in Luck appeared to enjoy the more challenging test which was on Sunday when he attained his highest score of 68.78% and 1st place finish; however, the best news was that Steeped in Luck and Tom's consistency paid off over the three days - they were Fourth Level Champions!!!
Steeped in Luck received a championship ribbon and Tom received a pat on the back; while stallion owner, Keith Douglas, received a black jacket with the logo "Wellington Classic Dressage Spring Challenge". Keith keeps a watchful eye on the jacket that he says cost him "$$,$$$".
Congrats to Tom, Pairadox Farm and Steeped in Luck on their 2010 successes to date! Watch for the this pair doing Dressage Demonstrations in conjunction with the Irish Village at WEG.
