Lexington, Ky.—Sept. 27
Seven weeks ago, Spanish rider Maria Mercedes Alvarez Ponton was giving birth to her first child, but yesterday, Sept. 26, she was back in the saddle and back at the top of her game at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games.
Alvarez Ponton crossed the finish line first aboard Nobby, the 15-year-old bay Arabian with whom she won the 2009 Endurance World Championship (Italy) and the 2008 World Championship (Malaysia). The pair’s final time was 7:35:44.
