In the Palm Beach Equine Clinic CDI3* Grand Prix at the Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF), the winning test came from the very last rider in the class of 10 starters. Heading up a trio of female Olympians on the podium, Rio 2016 Olympic team bronze medalist Kasey Perry-Glass (USA) and Diane Perry’s 14-year-old Heartbeat WP (Charmeur x Ferro) laid down a new personal best of 72.022% to claim the top spot. All five judges were in unison, with the duo’s scores ranging from 71.739% to 72.609%.
