Bent Jensen and Anne Kursinski Win the $25,000 Windsome Dressage/Jumper Spectacular Again!

For the tenth consecutive year, Windsome Farms sponsored the Dressage/Jumper Spectacular at the Wellington Dressage show, which is held simultaneously with the Gold Coast Jumper Classic, both part of the Cosequin Winter Equestrian Festival at the Palm Beach Polo Equestrian Center. In this special $25,000 class, jumper and dressage riders change places.

Eleven teams of two competed. The jumper riders were required to ride Third Level Test 3, and dressage riders were required to jump a course of nine fences with heights not exceeding 3'6" in a "Hit and Hurry" course in the Grand Prix field. Bent Jensen and Anne Kursinski won for the fourth time. They have teamed up five times, and only once missed the win, and placed second.
