Lexington, Ky.—July 19

When Naima Moreira Laliberte walked down the ramp into Rolex Stadium to ride her young rider individual freestyle on Belafonte, the chestnut Hanoverian had a little bobble. They’d only ridden this particular freestyle once together—at a show to qualify for the Adequan/FEI North American Junior and Young Rider Championships—and Belafonte is known to be a bit of a chameleon, letting a new color of his personality show every day, so Moreira wasn’t quite sure how he’d behave in the bigger atmosphere of the arena.
