Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award Winner for AGDF5 Sahar Daniel Hirosh Delivers a Classy Ride

Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award Winner for AGDF5 Sahar Daniel Hirosh Delivers a Classy Ride 


 

Wellington, FL (February 17, 2014) - As one of the leading names in arenas and footing, Premier Equestrian understands that the first step inside the show ring doesn't belong to the rider: It's taken by the horse. So when Sahar Daniel Hirosh praised his partner, Classy Sinclair, before himself, after their Open Fourth Level Test 1 at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center during AGDF5, it resonated with Premier Equestrian president, Heidi Zorn.

“The horse was fantastic.  He's a homebred that I've known since he was born.  He was a little hot on the changes but overall, a very good ride.  With hot horse you learn to ride not just the physical body, but also the soul and mind,”  Hirosh said of the bay 16.1 hand Oldenburg stallion by Sandro Hit, and owned by Lisa Grossi. Between Friday and Sunday, the Israeli dressage rider continued to coax that mind/body harmony, bringing the horse along from a 66.714% on Friday to a 68.571% by Sunday.
“That's why he's worthy of this Sportsmanship Award,” said Zorn. “He praised his horse first, which is the way it should be.  This Premier Equestrian award is our way of trying to recognize the people who are partners with their horse, because that partnership is what dressage is all about.”
In addition to a classy tricolor ribbon for Classy Sinclair, the Premier Equestrian Sportsmanship Award winner received a generous gift certificate from Premier Equestrian, and a hardcover copy of Ask Walter, the latest book on classical dressage training for the horse and rider by German Gold medalist and author, Walter Zettl.
