Grand Prix CSI 3*
Ben Maher and Cella repeated their FTI WEF 3 grand prix victory from 2013 in the
$125,000 Fidelity Investments® Grand Prix.”
The world’s best battled it out at PBIEC
on Saturday night with a one-two finish
for Great Britain in the $125,000 Fidelity
investments® Grand Prix CSI 3* at the
2014 FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian
Festival (FTI WEF). Ben Maher and Scott
Brash, the top two ranked riders in the
world, finished on top of an impressive
field of horses and riders in an exciting
ten-horse jump-off.
Maher, the number two ranked rider
in the world, came out on top with his
mount, Cella. Brash, the current number
one ranked rider in the world, finished
second behind his Olympic teammate
with Ursula XII. Alvaro de Miranda
(BRA) and AD Norson placed third.
Guilherme Jorge of Brazil set the
course for 45 competitors on Saturday
night with ten clear rounds and a difficult
jump-off, in which the top two were the
only combinations to clear the short
course. Scott Brash and Ursula XII,
owned by Lord and Lady Harris and Lord
and Lady Kirkham, were the first pair to
clear the course in 39.05 seconds, but
had to settle for second place when
Ben Maher and Jane Clark’s Cella took
the challenge and bested their time in
38.68 seconds. Alvaro de Miranda and
AD Norson, owned by de Miranda and
Victory Equestrian, completed the fastest
four-fault round in 39.61 seconds to
place third. McLain Ward (USA) and
Sagamore Farm’s Rothchild finished
fourth with four faults in 40.06 seconds
Not only did Saturday night’s class
feature the top two riders in the world,
it saw four of the top ten, with Beezie
Madden (USA) who is currently fourth,
and Kent Farrington (USA) who sits
in tenth on the Longines FEI World
Ranking list. Fourth place finisher
McLain Ward ranks 20th in the world;
third place finisher Alvaro de Miranda
sits 29th.
Maher began riding Cella, a 12-yearold Belgian Warmblood mare by Cento
x Chin Chin, during the FTI WEF circuit
last winter and got his first big win with
her in last year’s Fidelity Investments
Grand Prix, a $100,000 CSI 2*. Maher
commented on their success, stating,
“It’s a lucky place here for me and Cella
at the moment. She had a long break
after Geneva and then our first class
was this week in the ‘WEF’ (Challenge
Cup),where she felt better than ever. I
decided not to do the jump-off because
I knew it was going to be fast, and save
her for this evening. She’s certainly a
once in a lifetime horse so I want to
save her for the big occasions. Luckily,
between the whole team, we made a

Competitors and horses continued
to put on a good show in the hunter
and equitation rings throughout Week
3 of the FTI WEF, presented by Fidelity
Investments®.
One of the first divisions of the
week was the Pre-Green 3 & 4 Year
Old Hunter division, where hunter
professionals showed their youngsters
the ropes. Encore, ridden by Erynn
Ballard and owned by Coventry Lane
Farm, was champion of the division on
Thursday morning. Ballard piloted the
Dutch Warmblood mare by Popeye K
to three first place ribbons, two over
fences and one under saddle. The
pair also placed third over fences.
The reserve champion for the division
was Lincoln Hill, owned and ridden by
Tommy Serio. The pair were second
under saddle and first, third, and third
over fences.
Several young horse divisions were
seen during the first part of the week,
including the Baby Green 2’6” Hunters.
The champion title went to Double Play,
ridden by Tim Goguen and owned by
his Boggs Hill Farm. The pair won
two over fences class on their way to
top honors. Double Play is a six-yearold Warmblood gelding. The reserve
champion for the division was Signal
Hill, ridden by Heather Caristo-Williams
and owned by Daphne Richards.
Caristo-Williams rode Signal Hill to
first, third, and seventh over fences
and earned a second place ribbon
under saddle.
Switching gears from young horses
to young riders, the USEF Pony Medal
class was held on Friday morning.
Sydney Berube and her pony The
Magic Word rode to the first place
prize. The Magic Word is a six-year-old
Welsh Pony mare. Second place went
to Quicksilver Butterfly and owner/rider
Kate Taylor and Alexa Striegler rounded
out the top three with her pony As
You Wish.
Hunter divisions at WEF
accommodate even the most beginner
riders, hosting the Walk/Trot division
over Saturday and Sunday. Veteran
21-year-old show pony Smartie Pants
proved to be the perfect schoolmaster
for Victoria Elena Mirabal. Mirabal
was crowned division champion
after placing sixth in the walk class,
third in the walk/trot pleasure, second
in the walk/trot jump, and winning
the walk/trot class. Smartie Pants is
owned by Eliza Fauntleroy. Reserve
championship honors were awarded
to Deja Blue, owned by Carriage Hill
Farm and ridden by Faye-Bella EvansDunn. Evans-Dunn rode Deja Blue
to seventh in the walk class, second

Another style of Ariat’s breeches
which is flying off the shelves is the stylish
denim breech, which has enchanted
equestrians and non-equestrians alike.

January 29 - February 2, 2014
Ride & Learn Q&A
Cara Defrancesco (34) from Jupiter,
FL, participated in Tuesday’s Ride & Learn
clinic with grand prix rider Candice King.
1. Why did you decide to participate
in the Ride & Learn clinic with
Candice King? I admire the way Candice connects
with her horses and makes her rounds
look effortless. I wanted to learn to keep
the consistency throughout my turns
and be confident in the track to the next
fence.
2. What were new things that you
learned at the clinic?
I learned to be more trusting with
my rhythm and to not be afraid to keep
my leg on at all times instead of just when
needed. 3. What did you like about the way
Candice taught?
She focused in on your weaknesses
and made you concentrate on fixing them
as you were riding the exercise. 4. How do you think the clinic will
help you with your riding?
The things that Candice pointed out to
me that I need to work on will definitely
help me be more effective throughout
my entire course.
5. What was the most fun part
about the clinic?
It was a great experience and an
honor to ride with Candice and getting
another perspective on my riding. It was
good to watch everyone doing well and
learning from watching each other. n

good decision because she jumped great
tonight. It was a race between me and
Scott tonight.”
Brash’s mount, Ursula XII, is a 13-yearold Scottish Sport Horse mare by Ahorn
x Papageno. Brash got the ride on Ursula
just after the Olympics in 2012, but
explained that it took some time for them
to figure each other out.
“It took us probably six months to a
year to just gel as a partnership, and I
wanted it to change her a bit to my style,
and I tried to adapt to what she likes, but
I have to say she’s a joy to ride and she’s
such a sweet horse in every way. She’s a
real top horse,” Brash stated.
Saturday night’s jump-off was a fun
rivalry for Brash and Maher, and they
explained that it keeps them competitive.
“Ben and I are very good friends,” Brash
acknowledged. “I think it’s a rivalry in a
really good way. He wants to beat me as
bad as I want to beat him. It’s good for
Great Britain.”
“Scott and I were the only two clears
tonight. If we had known it was going to
work out like that, perhaps we should have
spoke before and come to an arrangement
to slow down a bit,” Maher point out with a
laugh. “I’ve been lucky, same as Scott, with
my team, my horses behind me now, and
the support from Jane Clark. It has made
all the difference in the past 12 months. It
just proves how much we need the owners
and the sponsors to support us and how
much success that can bring, and we both
work hard.”
De Miranda was happy with his third
place finish aboard AD Norson, a 13-yearold Selle Francais stallion by Quidam de
January 29 - February 2, 2014
Revel x Grand Veneur, that he has ridden
since the horse was four years old. The
top placing was a happy end to a bad
day for de Miranda after getting news
about an injury in one of his top horses.
The rider shared that AD Rahmannshof’s
Bogeno, who he won last year’s $500,000
FTI Consulting Finale Grand Prix CSI 5*
with, has sustained an injury that will keep
him out of competition for a minimum of
six months. Despite the bad news, de
Miranda had a good night with AD Norson
and has high hopes for his season.
“He’s a very nice horse,” de Miranda
said. “In the beginning I was using him
as a speed horse, and then since 2010
I started upgrading him to the bigger
classes and he did very well. He was
in the Pan American Games where we
had a silver medal with the team, but the
ground was not too good and after that
he wasn’t coming back too strong to this
level. Here he is jumping really good, and
he’s back to what he was before. He’s a
really nice horse, very competitive, and I
love to ride him.”
De Miranda commented on the level of
competition at this year’s FTI WEF, stating,
“I like to come here for two reasons: to
build up horses, and to bring along young
horses. When you come here for three
months it is like spending one year in
Europe. You can do a lot, and you can
get to know the horse. They come back to
Europe in very good shape. It is top level
sport. You have the best horses and riders
here. It is very competitive.” n
