The Adequan Desert Dressage CDI and National Show drew rave reviews from exhibitors at all levels. Here’s hoping the show will go on at this venue again and soon!

Steffen Peters said it best after his first win with Suppenkasper: the FEI Grand Prix CDI 3*, sponsored by Elizabeth Keadle, on Nov. 13.

“We arrived two days ago and I drove around with my mouth open. The last time we were here was about seven or eight years ago and I just couldn’t believe how much was improved and the resources that were put into this place. It is absolutely beautiful,” Steffen said. “That arena, truly, I am not exaggerating, has Olympic quality. When you come in with the big gate and the spectators where they are, that has Olympic quality. I cannot wait and hope that maybe one day something really big will happen here.”

Kudos to all involved and here’s a few highlights from the first Sunday of competition, Nov. 15.
