Ocala, FL – On Saturday afternoon, an impressive field of twenty-nine horse-and-rider combinations took to the WEC Grand Arena to vie for the top prize in the $10,000 Buckeye Nutrition Futures Prix. Although the time allowed became a factor for many, eleven pairs managed to produced a clear first round.

FEL Level III course designer, Joey Rycroft (CAN) built the winding tracks where six pairs ultimately produced double clean efforts, but none could best Ansgar Holtgers Jr. and Gut Einhaus LLC’s Kennedy Z (Kashmir V Schuttershof x Donnerlitchen), who took home the blue ribbon.

Holtgers spoke about the talented gelding, “My parents bred him. He is an amazing horse. He has been ridden by many skilled riders as a young horse. Just this year I began riding him, which means a lot to me because he is homebred. This was probably my sixth or seventh show with him and he as been doing so well. After Summer Series we will head to Germany until it’s time to come back for the winter circuit.”

When it came time for the jump-off Holtgers had a plan, “I saw quite a few riders have one down and there was only a couple double clean, but they weren’t very fast. I thought if I rode the inside track, I could be faster, and it worked out well.”

Holtgers and the 11-year-old Zangersheide gelding produced a flawless jump-off, stopping the timers in 35.493 seconds for the victory.

Despite the driving rain, Luciano Dome and Florencia Masri’s Manhattan (Cardento x Topas) earned a second place finish. Dome and the impressive 10-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare soared over each fence and finished the short course in just 36.303 seconds.

Belen Guarderas and her own 10-year-old Holsteiner mare Nayla (Nerrado x Alanda) went straight to the jump-off after the pair delivered a clear first round well within the time allowed of 86 seconds. Guarderas and Nayla produced an efficient jump-off in 36.656 seconds for the yellow ribbon.
