Basje, ridden by Harold Chopping (CAN), was named the Equis Boutique Best Presented Horse Award recipient during the Tryon May I CSI2*, held May 3-7, 2017, at Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in Mill Spring, NC.
Equis Boutique, a luxury tack and apparel shopping experience, sponsors the Best Presented Horse Award at various FEI-sanctioned events throughout the United States.
The FEI CSI2* Horse Inspection for Tryon May I was held Tuesday, May 2, at TIEC. Led by President Steve Sarafin (USA), the FEI Ground Jury evaluated the appearance and condition of horses jogging for FEI competition, and recognized Basje, an 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Larino x Lando) owned by Kendra Bullington, and groom Salvador Navor as the Equis Boutique Best Presented Horse Award winner.
“It is so nice to get this recognition again,” said Chopping, who also won the Equis Boutique Best Presented Horse Award with Basje at the Tryon Fall VI CSI3* in 2016. “Basje is an attractive horse and my staff is very proud of that, but he also jumps a very high percentage of clean rounds, which people naturally get excited about. Horses like that don’t come around that often.
“This is especially exciting for Salvador because he deserves this,” continued Chopping, who has been working with Navor for more than five years at his own Solo Show Stables based in Southern Pines, NC.
“Salvador is so dedicated to the horses,” said Chopping. “He is as committed to Basje’s success as I am, and it is a lot of fun to have someone like that on my team. He has Basje looking as good for the jog as he does for Saturday night grand prix classes.”
Navor was recognized for the Equis Best Presented Horse Award with a commemorative vest, while Chopping was presented with a $100 gift certificate to Equis Boutique.
