Alex riding Claire McCormick's Fellow Fuego
"Alex Hargie rode Claire McCormick's Fellow Fuego to his first grand prix win at Tatton Dressage at Somerford Park farm in Cheshire. The 15-year-old stallion, by Wolfgang out of a Marco Polo mare, scored nearly 66%, showing a spectacular piaffe in the process, which earned top marks from both judges. Alex was delighted with the horse's performance. "It was the best test he's ever done - everything came together." This will probably be the horse's swansong at this level as, after a break from covering for the past four years to concentrate on competing, he will again be standing at stud. "Its difficult to combine the two," said Alex, "So we'll probably stick to intermediaire I level, where the pressure is off."
