The future of dressage was on display as the junior, young rider and Brentina Cup divisions all came to a close at the U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions.

Anna Buffini, 20, and her 15-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding Sundayboy emerged as champions of the AGCO/USEF Young Rider division, adding a win in today’s Individual test to her blue ribbon from the Team test to take the tricolor.
