West Palm Beach, FL – Canada’s Jill Irving celebrated Valentine’s Day in style – winning the Trilogy Dressage Saddle “Best Seat” award and a beautiful bouquet of roses from Trilogy President Debbie Witty. Irving won the Trilogy “Best Seat” award at the Wellington Classic Dressage Spring Challenge CDI when she and her Dutch Warmblood gelding Delvaux drew the attention of the Trilogy selection committee.
“Jill won the ‘Best Seat’ award for her supple seat, and when we first spotted her at the Wellington Classic Spring Challenge CDI we thought she was a Young Rider,” said Witty. “Jill was shocked and thrilled with the news that she had won. She was even more surprised when we told her we thought she was a Young Rider. In actuality, she is the mother of four so you can imagine this was a true compliment.”
Irving rides with Ashley Holzer and prior to becoming a dressage rider was a Canadian national champion hunter and jumper rider. In addition to winning the ‘Best Seat’ title, and the roses, Witty also presented Irving with an embroidered quarter sheet from Trilogy.
