Twelve promising small tour horses went down centerline in the Buffalo Wild Wings Future Challenge FEI Prix St. Georges on Sunday, March 16, hunting one of the two remaining slots in week 12’s prestigious grand final. Sunday marked the closing day of week 10 of the 2025 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) in Wellington, FL.
The class is open to developing small tour horses aged seven to nine. As with all the developing horse series at AGDF—of which there are three—they are designed to offer horses with international quality the opportunity to perform a test in front of a panel of international judges in the atmospheric main stadium at Wellington International’s dressage venue without some of the additional pressures of an international, such as a trot-up, or having to stable overnight at the venue for several days.
In the Prix St. Georges Future Challenge in AGDF 10, Canadians occupied two of the three top spots. Belinda Trussell and the eight-year-old mare Quincy—who qualified in AGDF 5—topped the class on 71.206%. Andrea Woodard slotted in between the two Canadians with a 69.471% performance for second on Enter at A LLC’s eight-year-old Roxette. The Revolution x Quite Easy mare earned a ticket to the final in two weeks’ time. Camille Carier Bergeron finished third on her own MSJ Fürst Zonik (by Fürstenball x Zonik), another eight-year-old, and picked up the second ticket, as qualification passed down to non-qualified combinations.
