Banco Du Moulin & Kady Abrahamson Victorious in $30,000 WEC Grand Prix

06 Jun 21 | Uncategorized

Seventeen elite horse and rider combinations gathered in the Sanctuary Arena for an action-packed afternoon of showjumping at World Equestrian Center – Wilmington; all vying for the win in the $30,000 WEC Grand Prix over a course designed by Bobby Murphy of Lexington, Kentucky.

Kady Abrahamson and Banco Du Moulin win the $30,000 WEC Grand Prix

Ten horses qualified for the jump off, but it was Kady Abrahamson of Abrahamson Equestrian LLC, Georgetown, Kentucky, and Banco Du Moulin (Popstar Lozonais x Gerboise Du Moulin) who prevailed to take the win. 

Kady Abrahamson and Banco Du Moulin

“This girl is on fire!” exclaimed Keely O’Hara, a friend of Abrahamson’s. Banco Du Moulin, now owned by Abrahamson Equestrian LLC, is a newer mount for Abrahamson. She and the 10-year-old Selle Francais gelding began riding together only five months ago. Time is no object for this team, as they notched wins in two $20,000 Welcome Prix classes during the Winter Spectacular at WEC Ocala. Now the pair is adding a $30,000 WEC Grand Prix win to their list of accomplishments.

“I didn’t go as fast with him last weekend…Today I knew that I didn’t want to be second again – so we just did it!”

Abrahamson and Banco Du Moulin jumped the first round clear in 73.416 seconds, securing their spot in the jump off where they stopped the clock at an unbeatable 35.070 seconds. 

Wilhelm Genn and Bugatti taking second place in the $30,000 WEC Grand Prix

Wilhelm Genn and Bugatti (Heartbreaker x Nona Bella ) took second place in the $30,000 WEC Grand Prix. Genn, of Rheinland Farm in Lebanon, Ohio, and Bugatti, a 15-year-old KWPN gelding owned by Eduardo Leon, stopped the clock at 35.922 seconds in the jump off. 

Willhelm Genn and Van Gogh – Third place in the $30,000 WEC Grand Prix

Willhelm Genn and his own Van Gogh(Valentino x Calina Z), a 13-year-old chestnut Oldenburg gelding, rounded out the top three finishers. This popular pair took third place in the $5,000 Welcome Stake earlier this week.

Vegas H and David Beisel Take the $10,000 Futures Prix 1.30m. Win

A contending field of 16 jumpers took the Sanctuary Arena at the World Equestrian Center Saturday for the $10,000 Futures Prix 1.30m. 

David Beisel and Vegas H -$10,000 Futures Prix 1.30m winner

Six riders qualified for the jump off, with three of which delivered fault-free rounds. The fastest of the rounds was David Beisel and Vegas H, who topped the class with a jump off time of 36.599 seconds. 

David Beisel and Vegas H -$10,000 Futures Prix 1.30m winner

David Beisel is no stranger to the winner’s circle at the World Equestrian Center. Beisel piloted his own Vegas H (Valentino x Cobrah), an eight-year-old Warmblood, to his second WEC Futures victory. We caught up with Beisel of David Beisel Stables, Goshen, Ohio, to chat about today’s Futures Prix win, “He is so fast and light on his toes. He steers so well, for a big horse you can make surprisingly tight turns on him.”

Richard Rinehart and Uranus 112 – Second place in $10,000 Futures Prix 1.30m

Richard Rinehart of Rinehart Farm in Carmel, Indiana, rode Caron L. Stucky’s Uranus 112 (Uccello xCONNY II) a 2011 Oldenburg gelding, into a beautiful second place with a jump off time of 37.473 seconds.

Erika Thornell and Gyloma – Third place in $10,000 Futures Prix 1.30m

Erika Thornell piloted Gyloma (Kashmir Van Schuttershoff x Baloma) a 2011 KWPN mare owned by Loveland Equine Investments, Loveland, Ohio, top a top three finish. The duo had a jump-off time of 41.270 seconds.
