1677.0. "Washington International Horse Show" by BUSY::MANDILE (In god we trust. All others pay cash!) Wed Nov 04 1992 09:19

    
    I caught a good part of the Washington International Horse
    Show on either ESPN or SC last night.  
    
            WOW!
    
    I want that Andulusian Stallion that performed with nothing but
    a rope around his neck!  
    
    I'd take one of those draft horses, too!
    
    The miniature horse didn't thrill me, tho'.
    
    The Gamblers Choice jumping was fantastic!  Some very talented young
    horses are making themselves a name.  I wouldn't say no to any of them,
    either!

1677.1	Hunter Divs had lots of MA and NE riders!	XLIB::PAANANEN	Another Warp Speed Weekend	`Wed Nov 04 1992 10:19`	11
	My trainer has one of the 30 horses in the country that qualified for the Second Year Green and Amateur Owner divisions. They were seventh (they give 10 ribbons in the Championships) in the Stakes class riding against top trainers like Leslie Lenahan and Tommy Serio. Some local riders, including Kim Kolloff and Lisa Tacconi rode well in the Marshall and Sterling. My trainer said that there were many Massachusetts riders in the ribbons which was really nice to see.
1677.2	More to come!	DECWET::JDADDAMIO	Montar con orgullo	`Wed Nov 04 1992 13:02`	13
	I liked the Andalusian display too but I was a little peeved that they cut off the quadrille to show us "replays" from a year or two ago of Bo Derek flouncing her hair around the arena .... That and the constant "commercial" for the Leone brothers took some of the fun out of it... For the die-hards, they are showing other competitions from the International: President's Cup Grand Prix, Puissance and Dressage on various sports stations throughout the week. If I'm not mistaken, the Washington International Dressage is the ONLY Volvo World Cup-qualifier in the US so don't miss it if you like dressage!
1677.3	not the only Volvo WC qualifier	BROKE::MELINDA		`Wed Nov 04 1992 13:58`	5
	The Royal Dressage Festival (Port Jervis NY) held a 93 Volvo world cup qualifier in May. NEDA held one at their fall show. I'm pretty sure there have been numerous other ones too. (Devon?) Melinda
1677.4	Dressage from DC International	DECWET::JDADDAMIO	Montar con orgullo	`Thu Nov 05 1992 17:53`	14
	Oops, sorry for the misinformation there. That's what I get for listening to the hype of TV announcers. I should have realized that they were incorrect. I know the Volvo format well enough to know that there is a series of qualifiers...Guess my brain was on vacation or something. I caught the dressage broadcast last night. It turned out to be the Volvo World CUp's American League finals. It was pretty interesting even though there were only 4 rides. I thought that Carol Lavell and Gifted had a better Kur than at the Olympics. Nobody else even came close to their performance. The commentary was pretty poor though and included some pretty stupid comments. Hey, what do I expect for a $2 Pay-Per-View fee?
