Amy Costelloe topped the field for Team Trinidad and Tobago (Team TT), as the Trinidad and Tobago Equestrian Association (TTEA)-hosted FEI World Dressage Challenge ended last Saturday at the San Antonio Stables, Santa Cruz.

Costelloe, who rode the horse Monte Carlo, placed first ahead of Michelle Sabga-Aboud, aboard Biscoito, while Patrice Stollmeyer, who rode Claudio, was third. Fourth place went to Natalie Rapier on Viking Thunder.

Sports Minister Darryl Smith was among the guests on hand to witness an interesting day of action and cheer on Team TT.

According to a media release from the TTEA, “the competition was fierce as each participant put forth their best. A spectacular job was done by all displaying the true art of Dressage – a sport of beauty (that is) only possible when there is a true partnership with the horse and rider.”

Judges included FEI foreign expert Jeanne McDonald and local counterpart Alison Elliot.
