Floratina enjoyed a successful career in FEI dressage, including an appearance at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, with Canadian Lindsay Kellock, where Floratina helped secure a gold medal.
Once Rebecca Hart took over the ride, Floratina showed her ability and potential for the multi-time Paralympian, earning major victories both in the U.S. and abroad since starting their journey together in 2023. The pair have marked several personal bests together, including a 76.5% in the the Para Grand Prix Test B at their most recent outing at the Hagen CPEDI3*.
With Hart's experience, Floratina has produced some of the most consistent scores in Grade III competition this year and nearly marked an 80% in the Para Grand Prix Freestyle at the World Equestrian Center CPEDI3* in Ocala in March, where the pair received a 79.745%.
Hart and Floratina swept the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games, bringing home an impressive and historic medal haul. They secured individual gold together in their first outing at Versailles in the Grade III Individual Test. The pair closed out the competition with two additional gold medals in the team event and the Grade III Individual Test Freestyle.
