Meagan Davis Scoops CDI4* Grand Prix with Personal Best
By Alice Collins for Wellington International
Wellington, Fla.-February 26, 2026—U.S. rider Meagan Davis continued her ground-breaking season on Toronto Lightfoot, seizing her fourth win of the year to date in the Donato Farms CDI4* Grand Prix as last to go in the class of eight. They scored 72.108%, logging yet another new personal best in 2026, an ideal way to herald the eighth week of the 2026 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF), which is Palm Beach Derby week, a show dedicated to the late Mary Anne McPhail.
Tinne Vilhelmson Silfvén, Sweden’s seven-time Olympian and a familiar face at AGDF over the years, finished second with Hyatt, a 14-year-old Apache-sired mare she rides for Lövsta Stuteri. Three of the judges placed the duo first, but their eventual 71.544% meant they had to settle for the runner-up spot. Ashley Holzer (USA) rounded out the top three with 68.478% on her and Diane Fellows’s 14-year-old Hawtins San Floriana (San Amour x Florestan).
Davis and Toronto Lightfoot received scores of more than 74% from two experienced judges, Christoph Umbach (LUX) at C, and Germany’s Katrina Wüst at M. Davis has been riding Scott Durkin’s 13-year-old by Totilas since finding him at Helgstrand Dressage in Wellington in 2022, and they stepped up to CDI grand prix in September 2024. He is the 36-year-old rider’s first and only senior international horse.
