From http://www.dressagedaily.com:

"Again in the junior division, the highest scores of the day went to Nicolas Torres Rodriguez (15, Bogota, Colombia) on Silver Label, a 15-year-old SWB gelding owned by Alexandra Rodriguez. They were not eligible for a medal because of their home country designation, but nonetheless were very pleased to have such a strong performance. They received judge's scores of 76.000%, 75.750%, 77.500%, 72.625%, and 75.625% with a total of 75.500%.
Rodriguez lives in Bogota, but travels once a month to train in New Jersey with Cesar Parra. Silver Label lives in New Jersey, but Rodriguez is able to practice on his 17-year-old horse at home, with whom he competes in Prix St. Georges and Intermediaire I competitions. He has had Silver Label for one year and hopes to advance to the grand prix level. Their freestyle music was from the movie Avatar.

"It was a great ride," he said. "All the week has been great and the horse has had his best week since I bought him."

From https://www.chronofhorse.com:

Nicolas Torres Rodriguez earned the highest score of all the junior riders (72.05%), but he did not earn a medal or ribbon. Torres Rodiguez lives in Bogata, Colombia, a South American country, and is therefore ineligible for an award. However, for the 2013 junior and young rider competition, the show organizers are looking into expanding the field to riders in both North and South America.

Competing at the Rolex Stadium is like a dream come true,” said Torres Rodrigues, 15. He and his mount Silver Label have been together for about a year. He said if the opportunity arises, he would like to return to the championship with a full team from Colombia.”
