Bortuzzo and Doc Doc Dance to Victory in CDI1* Freestyle
The CDI1* FEI Intermediate I Freestyle presented by Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center, ended with Elizabeth Bortuzzo and her own Degenhardt (aka Doc Doc) clinching the blue ribbon with a 70.220%. Doc Doc is a 7-year-old Westphalian gelding by Harmony’s Don Noblesse out of Etiene la Petite by Ehrentusch.
“I am absolutely thrilled with him,” she said. “He’s just a wealth of talent and I can’t wait to work on all of it until we can develop it. And he’s been just maturing and coming along and I’m just so excited about him.”
Elizabeth Hotchkiss and Backstage Beaudi claimed the red ribbon with a 70.145%. The 9-year-old Oldenburg gelding by Borsalino 32 out of Wega Weissera by De Niro is owned by Stony Hill Stables.
