Rolex Kentucky – 2009

Diana and Manny took on the challenge of competition at Rolex, the only four star event in North America. The weather was hot and beautiful and just over 40,000 people watched as 3 riders withdrew, 1 retired and 7 were eliminated. Manny was eager to do his job every step of the way pulling hard on Cross-country, but raring to go and keeping Diana working every step of the way. Congratulations to John and Nadia Lennox, Manny’s owners, on another of Manny’s successes.

Special thanks to groom extraordinaire, Sandra Andresen who worked diligently and relentlessly in the heat of the day and night to care for Manny at the Rolex event. Many thanks to all who were able to enjoy the show, and cheer Diana on in Kentucky, and also to those who cheered for her, from home. Special thanks to Diana’s sponsors and supporters who have contributed to this next step, in the future of many successes. To compete at Rolex and simply to finish puts rider and horse in select and elite company.
