Team Step by Step Riders Championed Charity During 2nd Annual FEI Nations’ Cup Competitions at PBIEC & Beyond at Palm Beach International Equestrian Center
Daniela Stransky aboard Liverpool represented both Venezuela and the charity Step by Step Foundation during the FEI Nations’ Cup events for Children, Juniors and Young Riders at the FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival (FTI WEF) in Wellington, Florida.
Stransky and a group of talented young riders, including Emanuel Andrade, who was a member of the bronze medal winning Venezuelan team in the 2013 Junior FEI Nations’ Cup, work together as a team to help raise funds and awareness for the international non-profit. In addition to the young riders, Stransky’s Mission Farm’s Hector Florentino, who is also a supporter of the non-profit, represented the Dominican Republic in the individual FEI Nation’s Cup competition for those over 21 years of age.
There were ten nations competing this year, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Mexico, and the United States and many of the show jumping riders traveled from their home countries with their own horses to compete in the event.
