West Palm Beach, FL (November 16, 2009) Olympian and international dressage
rider Lisa Wilcox turned in an all-American ride at the Gold Coast Fall
Fling show, winning the Grand Prix aboard Ingred Lins Lusitano Quemacho
Hi. The Grand Prix was sponsored by The Sanctuary Equine Sports Therapy &
Rehabilitation Center and Quemacho Hi won a beautiful Sanctuary signature
orange embroidered polar fleece cooler and a $250 gift certificate for
services at The Sanctuary.
Wilcox and Quemacho Hi earned a score of 64.043% in the Grand Prix class,
which was judged by Marianne Ludwig. Wilcox has also found success on Lins
Lusitano stallion Queba HM. Lin owns White Fences Equestrian Center in
Loxahatchee, the original home of the Palm Beach Derby in the mid 80s.
As one of America's leading international competitors, Wilcox was a member
of the Silver-Medal winning U.S. Dressage Team at the 2002 World Equestrian
Games, where she also finished fifth individually. In 2003 she won an
Individual Silver Medal at the Open European Championships and the next year
was a member of America's Bronze-Medal winning Dressage Team at the 2004
Olympic Games.
Wilcox has trained with some of the best dressage trainers in the world
including Herbert Rehbein and Ernst Hoyos. While in Europe, she earned
success with numerous horses including her two well-known partners
Rohdiamant and her Olympic mount Relevant. Wilcox returned to Florida in
2006 and is now based out of Tuny Pages Stillpoint Farm in Wellington.
The Sanctuary, which sponsored the Grand Prix class, was pleased with
Wilcoxs win. The Sanctuary is excited to be sponsoring the Wellington
dressage shows and it was wonderful to have a high-profile rider like Lisa
win the class. Having horses Lisa rides wear our orange Sanctuary coolers is
a great thing, said Brenda McDuffee, General Manager of The
Sanctuary. Orange is our signature color at The Sanctuary as it is
associated with the sun, health, healing and is a vibrant color that
represents energy.
High performance competitors, including top dressage horses, are using The
Sanctuarys facilities for rehab, post-surgery rehab, conditioning, fitness
and training. The Sanctuary is well-suited for treating medical conditions
that often face dressage horses, McDuffee said. The conditions we have seen
the most in dressage horses have been hind end problems or weaknesses and
suspensory injuries and The Sanctuary has many therapies that address these
injuries and targets specific problems.
The Sanctuary Equine Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation Center, located on 30
pristine acres in Ocala, Florida, is a world-class, multi-million dollar
facility dedicated to the healing, conditioning and well being of all equine
athletes. The Sanctuary features some of the most advanced conditioning and
rehab equipment in the world and their staff is committed to excellence.
