Mary-Haskins
Gray, from Greensboro, NC, has been selected by the USA Equestrian/USET
Dressage Credentials Committee to represent the United States
at the Waldfried Euro Cup Final in Frankfurt, Germany, December
11 – 14. Her selection was based on her individual gold medal
and team silver wins at the North American Young Riders’
Championships this past August, her victory at the USET Festival
of Champions JR/YR Division and other numerous wins this past
year. Gray will be competing on her horse Fregat (Fakir –
Rampa), a 10-year-old Russian Budenny gelding. This is the first
year the organizing committee has extended an invitation to the
United States and to Canada. The riders against whom Gray will
be competing have had to qualify throughout the year by participating
in a series of qualifying competitions in Europe.
Gray
will be receiving a grant from USA Equestrian’s Fund for
Equestrian Youth Development to assist with the travel costs.
