“This night is my favorite. I’m thrilled to have won,” said Jacqueline Brooks, winner of the Grand Prix Freestyle. She’s only been riding D-Niro since February of 2011 but has already shown him at almost every CDI in Florida where he learned on the job – all in preparation for the Olympics. “He came back from London a different horse,” she said. “I barely had to ride him. I just had to sit there and thank him.” What’s next? She’s set her sights on the World Equestrian Games in Normandy in 2014.
