The pair was on the teams at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival in Wellington that kicked off the inaugural official Nations Cup series and at the final event for the year at the World Equestrian Festival CDIO in Aachen, Germany that clinched the title for the United States.
The Special was won by the U.S.-based Australian Kim Gentry riding Leonardo on 60.020 per cent after Michael Barisone on Wyatt Star was eliminated because of blood on the horse.
This was the first CDI Big Tour for Michael and the 13-year-old KWPN gelding that was competed at Small Tour for two years by Justin Hardin, a long-time trainer at Michael's Long Valley, New Jersey training center.
