Wellington, FL (April 18, 2012) -- Caroline Roffman has a stellar beginning
to 2012, with wins across the small tour and developing horse divisions at
prestigious shows on the Florida dressage circuit and most recently a gold
medal at the Nations Cup CDI. At the Global Dressage Festival Nations Cup,
Team USA took the gold, and Roffmans score of 70.050% on her own Pie was a
strong contribution towards the medal. Team Europe took the silver, while
Team USA 2 took the bronze. Pie and Roffman also swept the Prix St Georges
classes at the Global Dressage Festival Nations Cup.
Roffman recently opened her own training and sales center, Lionshare
Dressage, and has partnered with 2012 Pan Am Games alternate Endel Ots to
bring the best dressage prospects and training to Wellington. In the second
half of 2012, Roffman has her sights set on multiple championships,
including Gladstone and Lamplight, as she looks to the future with her
competition horses.
Roffman kicked off her 2012 success in the small tour with Pie, a Hanoverian
by Worldly, sweeping the small tour classes at the $50,000 Florida Dressage
Classic CDI-W at the Global Dressage Festival. Roffman also debuted a new
mare, Her Highness, during the circuit to great success. Her Highness, a 9
year old by Hohenstein out of a Weltmeyer mare, is owned collectively by
Roffman and Wolkentanzer Farm out of California. The stunning mare with
floating gaits easily took top placings at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby,
winning the FEI Test of Choice with a 68.421% and the USEF Developing Horse
Prix St Georges with a 67.868%. Her Highness was also in the top placings
during the GDF Nations Cup National Show, where they scored a 70% and 69% in
the Prix St Georges. Roffman is aiming Her Highness for the Developing
Horse Championships, where Roffman and Pie were Reserve Champion in 2011.
Roffman has plans to compete at 2012 National Young Horse Championships with
her own Bon Chance, the 2010 Five-Year-Old Champion and 2011 Six-Year-Old
Reserve Champion, who will be headed for the Developing Horse divisions as
well. Caroline is also sure to be defending her title as 2011 Brentina Cup
Champion.
