Wellington, Fla.—March 27  

According to Lauren Hough, Cornet 39 has been on the verge of a big breakout, and in the $130,000 Engel & Völkers Grand Prix CSI 4* he finally found the spotlight.

“He was part of the winning [Furusiyya FEI] Nations Cup team in Ocala [Fla.] a few weeks ago, and then he had a little break and really felt fantastic tonight,” Hough detailed. “He was also very good in the WEF [Challenge Cup] the other day. He has sort of been knocking on the door, and I am very proud of him.”
