NETWORK NEWS RELEASE – November 9, 2014

. . . It may have taken North Forks Cardi four days
to travel across the country from Battle Ground, WA (Region 6) to attend the
Finals with owner/rider Jessica Wisdom, but it only took a matter of minutes
for the charismatic Welsh Cob stallion to become the fan favorite on his way to
winning the finale class of the night, the Grand Prix Open Freestyle
Championship. "Freestyle is where he really shines - he hears that music
and he becomes a big horse. Nobody told him that he's only 14.3 hands!,"
said Wisdom. "All he has to do is go out there and be the rock star
that he knows he is. And you saw what happens! He has an ego the
size of Texas. He seemingly becomes three hands taller and says, 'watch
this." The Reserve title went to Region 4's Emily Miles of La Cygne,
Kan. (69.833%), who today found success aboard her Hanoverian gelding
Weltdorff, a horse she's had since he was a youngster and has risen up to the
Grand Prix level together. "It's always seemed that he's played the role
of bridesmaid to my other horse WakeUp, so I'm happy for him to earn
this," said Miles. "I have to admit I don't particularly like my
music, but I trusted my freestyle designer who insisted that it works for my
horse. Obviously she was right! The best moment was coming down
centerline as we did 25 one-tempi's one-handed and the crowd started
clapping. And turns out my husband was watching our ride from home on the
USEF Network! So it's been a really fun night." READ FULL STORY
