Mikala Gundersen left the talented Pikko Del Cerro HU in Lisa Wilcox’s capable hands while she spent the summer competing Leonberg in Europe. And she credited Wilcox’s work with helping her win the 6-year-old division at the Markel/USEF National Young Horse Championships.

“I couldn’t have done this without her,” said Gundersen, Wellington, Fla. “She got him a little stronger and more collected. We have such a great working relationship.”
