Lisa Wilcox Wins Again in Europe

Wilcox and Rohdiamant in Aachen USA Equestrian (formerly AHSA) announced today that Lisa Wilcox continued her winning form at the Bremen CDI*** in Germany, October 4-7, 2001, when she captured four classes to beat strong European competition, which included Germany's Sydney Olympic bronze medalist, Ulla Salzgeber, and Ingrid and Michael Klimke. Originally from Thousand Oaks, CA, and now based in Cappeln, Germany, with Gestüt Vorwerk which owns the horses she rides, Wilcox won the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Kür riding the ten-year-old Oldenburg stallion Relevant 5 (Rubinstein I-Havanna) with scores of 72.20% and 76.94% respectively.

In two Prix St. Georges classes, Wilcox also topped the leader board, this time riding the seven-year-old Oldenburg stallion, Regal Dancer, (Rubenstein I x Wicke) with scores of 69.75% and 70.90% respectively. In each class, she beat Germany's Michael Klimke, the son of world famous Olympic dressage veteran, Dr.Reiner Klimke. "The fun part is that I have so many good horses at the moment," said a delighted Wilcox. "There's been a lot of interest in the success I'm having here in Europe."

Wilcox, who is trained by Ernst Hoyos from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria, also rides the 11-year-old Rodiamant and his full brother, the seven-year-old Royal Diamond. Both Rubinstein I sons will be competing in Dusseldorf CDI-W October19-21, 2001. Royal Diamond and Regal Dancer have qualified for the Prix St. Georges at Frankfurt CDI*** from December 14-16, 2001.
