Wellington, FL – Nadine Buberl, who rides and trains at Cesar Parra’s Piaffe-Performance Farm, rode into the winner’s circle at the Wellington Classic Dressage Spring Challenge CDI as the high score winner. Buberl’s high score, aboard Wellington Sandro Star, helped her take home the Everglades Dressage High Score Award at the show, sponsored by Everglades Dressage and Bethany Peslar.

“Wellington Sandro Star is a six-year-old bay Oldenburg gelding, ISR Inspection Champion by Sandro Hit. His dam’s sire is Contucci, and he was bred by Larry and Bernie Ball of Warrenton, Virginia,” Buberl said. “He is owned by Wellington Farm and Taunia and David Reed of Virginia Beach. They are like so many other great unsung dressage supporters because they realized at an early age that Wellington Sandro Star, or Superman as we call him, was a special horse and they brought him to Piaffe-Performance for training. Having a horse as special as Superman is an honor and I thank Taunia and David for the trust and opportunity to be able to ride him.”

Buberl and Wellington Sandro Star scored a 74.400% in the USEF Training Level TOC class. “I am really proud to win the high score award and I want to thank Bethany and Everglades Dressage Farm for sponsoring the award,” Buberl said. “Earning the high score shows me that the training for both horse and rider is headed in the right direction and that the work and time we have invested in Wellington Sandro Star is on track. The Piaffe-Performance approach to showing is to use the shows to help measure our progress, so we can see that everything is going according to plan. Winning high score was the icing on the cake.”

Buberl, who began riding as a child, said she came to Piaffe-Performance from a town near Hamburg, Germany. “In Germany all trainers must complete a horse training license so before I came to the United States to join the Piaffe-Performance team, I finished the highest level license in Germany, the Masters License,” Buberl said.

Trainer Bethany Peslar, who operates Everglades Dressage Farm, congratulated Buberl on winning the High Score Award. Buberl was presented with a beautiful embroidered saddle pad, a leather sugar pouch, and a gift certificate for a free lesson with Peslar at her premier equestrian facility, Everglades Dressage, in the exclusive Grand Prix Village of Wellington.

Peslar is a USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold medalist, a two-time NAYRC Silver Medalist and in 2006 she was Reserve Champion in the National Young Adult Grand Prix Championship “Brentina Cup” at Gladstone.
