Sunday's cross-country proved very influential, and Matt and Belicoso set out with their game faces on. Belicoso ate up the challenging course and finished clear and inside the time to end the weekend on their dressage score. They were one of only two pairs to do so, and their efforts were enough to move them all the way up the leaderboard to the National Championship and the Gold Cup Final trophy!
The win was just icing on the cake for Matt - he is absolutely thrilled with Belicoso, who stepped up in a big way this week to really show what he is made of. What a weekend, and what a horse! Thank you so much to everyone who has believed in him throughout his journey. This win is not just for Matt and Belicoso, but for all of you as well!
As they celebrate their national championship victory, Matt and Cecily would like to take a moment to give a huge thank you to all of you who have helped them get to where they are today. From their owners to coaches, sponsors, friends, family and their team at home, they can't wait to continue to share their future successes with all of you!
