Interagro continues to blaze a trail on the Brazilian
dressage circuit, winning the final test of the year and
as a result climbing to the top of the rankings in the 2001
Intermediate II Championship of the Brazilian
Dressage Federation.
"Obtuso
is really powerful and surprising," said Cecilia, Interagro
Lusitanos' Brazilian stud manager. "It is wonderful news
for Interagro." Cecilia devised the concept of an Interagro
Sports Team aiming to place Lusitanos in modern equestrian
disciplines to demonstrate the results of their breeding
program at Interagro on the world stage. This seven-year-old
grey stallion, ridden by Brazilian dressage trainer
Andre
Ganc, has now qualified for the South American Championship
and had good enough scores to be invited by the Brazilian
Dressage Federation to compete and represent the country.
"We won't send him as he has to "work" now at the breeding
season," explained Cecilia. "Maybe
next year..."
In
the States there is a further member of the Interagro Sports
Team in Montezuma do Mirante, currently
in training with Grand Prix dressage rider Silke
Rembacz. His debut at the Winter Equestrian Festival
produced a promising score of 65.6 and this winter he is
expected to move up to Fourth Level.
