USA Olympic medalists from dressage, eventing and jumping celebrated at New York's Central Park Horse Show Friday night. A sold-out stadium with lit up skyscrapers as a backdrop paid tribute to the Americans. The USA and Germany were the only two nations at Rio de Janeiro last month to earn medals in all three disciplines.
In dressage the entire team of Steffen Peters, Laura Graves, Allison Brock and Kasey Perry-Glass that won team bronze–the first dressage medal for America since the 2004 Olympics–plus leader Robert Dover appeared for the celebration. Phillip Dutton who won individual bronze, joined Kent Farrington and McLain Ward from the silver medal jumping team for the event staged by Mark Bellissimo, organizer of the Rolex Central Park Horse Show, and his wife Catherine (light top). © 2016 Ken Braddick/dressage-news.com
