The Gold Coast Fall Fling

Team Zopatti Scores Again

Day one of the Gold Coast Fall Fling, on November 13, was a spectacular turnout with an energetic buzz around the barns. Everyone was happy to have life back to normal, for the storm weary year-round south Florida Dressage community.

That community spirit prevailed as members emerged, comparing notes and hurricane tales. Early on, junior rider Elizabeth Mirson was hanging blue ribbons on her stall for her Holsteiner cross gelding, Fielding, to nibble. Fielding is a home bred by Fleming.

With the aid of her trainer, John Zopatti, Elizabeth won three out of four First Level classes!

Carla Morrison has five horses in training with John Zopatti. Among them is “Le Savant”, a five year old Westphalian stallion by Serra Gamo.

It was blues all the way for Carla and Le Savat in Training Level, earning the Training Level High Score of 70%.
