| Absorbine Myoplast, Sponsor of the CN Winter Equestrian Festival 1.50m Classic Welcomes Peter Wylde into the Winner’s Circle |
|
Wellington, FL – Peter Wylde had an enthusiastic welcome back to Wellington on his way to victory in the $20,000 Absorbine Myoplast 1.50m Classic held on Sunday, February 17, 2008 at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. Peter last showed at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington in 2000 and has arrived in Florida with a talented string of twelve jumpers. Clare Bronfman’s 16-year old gray Swedish gelding, Irco Sun, appeared to be on a Sunday Hunt when the clock recorded his time of 38.26 seconds, sending him to the top of the leader board and right into first place. "This horse has the biggest stride of any I have ever ridden,” said Wylde after the win. 53 horses started in Saturday’s class with 22 riders advancing to the jump off. 19 year old Hillary Dobbs and her 10-year-old Holsteiner gelding, Marengo, looked like they were going to sweep the $20,000 Absorbine Myoplast 1.50m Classic for the second consecutive week with a time of 38.31 seconds, when Wylde stepped onto the course and never looked back. .jpg "Photo: Peter Wylde and Irco Sun win the $20,000 Absorbine Myoplast 1.50m Classic at CN Winter Equestrian Festival (Photo Credti: Ken Braddick)") “He is a much better horse than I expected,” Wylde said of Irco Sun after the ride. “He was sent to me last fall and I have been working on his fitness and muscle tone before I started showing him down here.” It looks like Wylde and the big gray are going to have quite a winter season here if they keep up this pace.Absorbine Myoplast is sponsoring the 1.50m Classic division for the 12-week CN Winter Equestrian Festival circuit in southern Florida.
