Stewart and the 10-year-old Holsteiner stallion by Daytona Love won three times over fences as well topping the under saddle and model to take top call for owner Dr. Betsee Parker.

After a recent break from the show ring, California Love Daytona Love came out strong scoring 89, 87 and 84 over fences. “We don’t show him that much and the last time he’s shown was The National in late October.” Stewart of Wellington, FL, said. “The focus is always keeping him fit enough for jumping.”

Major Goal Is To Shine

Starting the season on a high note, Stewart is hoping California Love can continue with consistent rounds in the high performance and conformation classes. Their major goal is to shine during the World Championship Hunter Rider (WCHR) week halfway through the season.

“I’ve got some nice new horses that I’m looking forward to,” Stewart said about his 2026 WEF season, who also championed the 3’6” Green and Green Conformation hunters with new mount Rosewood during WEF 2.
