Jane Hannigan and Maksymilian Earn a trip to the 2008 Dressage World Cup on 72.8% earned at Palm Beach Dressage Derby CDI-W/Y, March 2nd, 2008! Loxahatchee, Florida – Jane Hannigan is off to the 2008 Dressage World Cup following her win Sunday in the CDI Grand Prix Freestyle at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby CDI-W/Y. Hannigan and Maksymilian scored a 72.85 percent putting them on the U.S. World Cup team. That score also earned them a second place in the Grand Prix Freestyle behind Canadian Ashley Holzer with Pop Art and their score of 77.45 percent. Hannigan was beaming. "I'm so happy. The horse felt great today." Hannigan was rather astounded by her high freestyle score considering that she admitted to being out of sync with her music at some points in her ride. She's working on a new freestyle that is more technically difficult but opted not to change for the qualifying class. "I decided that I would ride in what I refer to as my old shoes for the qualifiers because I'm really comfortable with it. I know the old freestyle so well that if I get lost, like I did today, I can catch myself," Hannigan said. She is working with Terry Ciotti Gallo on the new freestyle and is now aiming to have it ready for the World Cup. |

Outstanding 4th place finish! Jane and Mak finished fourth place overall at the National Grand Prix Championship held at the USET headquarters in Gladstone, New Jersey this past weekend, June 14th-16th. On the first day of competition they scored a 67.292% in the Grand Prix. The Grand Prix Special was very special indeed with a 69.960%... (Click for the Video on YouTube) The third day of competition Jane had just started warming up Mak when the Grand Prix Freestyle class was halted due to lightning and thunderstorms. An hour later after the menacing clouds had passed, Jane and Mak rode their new freestyle to music from the Nutcracker. Unfortunately, Mak did not want to perform in the puddles and they finished the final day with a 66.4%. Their final total score was a 68.047% giving them the 4th spot overall at the Grand Prix Dressage Championship. The Grand Prix Special was a wonderful highlight and Jane and Mak were a wonderful pair to watch. Congratulations all around! |
