Brazil's Luciana Lossio won the CSI2* Grand Prix at WEF

WELLINGTON, Fla.--Brazil’s Luciana Lossio on Lady Louise Jmen won the CHF50,000 CSI2* Grand Prix on Sunday, Jan. 29 at the Winter Equestrian Festival.

A former Minister of the Superior Electoral Court of Brazil, Lossio was all business out of the courtroom and in the show ring to win the featured class on Sunday.

Riding Lady Louise Jmen, a 2010 Brazilian-bred mare, Lossio was clean in 35.01 seconds, less than a second faster than second-place finisher Hardin Towell on Boheme du Moulin, and Wesley Newlands of Canada on Maestro van het Binnenveld was third.

“I very concentrated on my plan in the jump-off, and I went jump by jump in my mind," said Lossio. "I took care of each jump, and she was fantastic today. I’m so happy that we got it!"

 

“I’VE BEEN WITH Lady Louise Jmen for six years now, and I know her very well," she said. "She’s very calm, and a very intelligent mare. She has a lot of strengths, she can jump whatever you put I front of her. We have a really good relationship. She trusts me and I trust her like no other horse.”

Lossio began riding at the age of six but took 15 years off from competition to focus on her career as a lawyer.

Still a full-time lawyer, Lossio is back in the show ring enjoying her horses on the weekends.

Ireland’s Darragh Kenny won the CSI4* 1.50m Classic on Chic Chic, a 2011 Westphalian stallion.

Clara Propp on Infinity G had top-three finishes over fences and a second-place ribbon under saddle to win the Large Junior Hunter 3'6" 15 & Under division championship.

“Going into today, I just wanted to stay consistent because he was so good yesterday,” said Propp. “I didn’t want to have any major mistakes and I think we accomplished that.”

Propp and Infinity G posted a personal high score of 86 in their victory over the handy course.

“I’ve only been riding him for a year now,” said Propp. “We got him last winter during WEF and I’m proud of his progress. He’s literally the sweetest thing ever; he loves to give you kisses.”

“I am in school right now," said Propp. "I do online classes while I am down here, and I stay down here for the winter so we can get the maximum amount of practice, and it’s been going well. It can be a little hard to manage the schoolwork and the horses, but I think my trainers, with the schedule they help me accommodate it and it all works out.”

Agatha Lignelli on Pritchard Hill won the championship in the Junior Hunter 3'3" 15 & Under division. .

“The course was simple, but the jumps were on the bigger side,” said Lignelli. “There were a couple spooks, but I thought he was jumping amazing.”

“My sister had him for about a year, and then this is my first year with him," said Lignelli. "My sister is mostly doing the jumpers and equitation now and I do jumpers and hunters, so he’s mine to ride for now. He’s super sweet and he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He always tries his best.

“I am down here for the entire show season, though I am from New York, and I attend Palm Beach Day Academy in Palm Beach,” said Lignelli. “My goals for the year are the FEI North American Youth Championships on my jumper and maybe pony finals. I have a lot to look forward to.”
