The 16 horse-and-rider combinations who competed in this year’s Zen Elite FEI Dressage World Cup\u2122 Final didn’t disappoint the near-packed house at Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena during Thursday’s Grand Prix and Saturday’s Freestyle competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Becky Moody (GBR) and Jagerbomb’s personal-best, Beatles-themed freestyle that included double pirouettes, one-tempis down the centerline and one and two-tempi serpentines to the U.S.’s Christian Simonson and Indian Rock’s dynamite freestyle choreographed to the “Rocky” movies’ soundtrack and all the special moments that took place out of the spotlight, our immensely talented, award-winning photographer Amy K. Dragoo didn’t miss a beat of this year’s thrilling competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
