2007 Dressage at Devon Presented by WTDirect

Sophie Ghedin "Sophie Trophy" and Remy Martin G Win Suitable to Become a Dressage Horse Class

While the stallions and mares impressed the audience, hundreds of volunteers worked tirelessly to make the show run smoothly. One of those volunteers, Sophie Ghedin, was able to take a little time out to compete. Ghedin, of West Chester, PA, who’s known affectionately as “Sophie Trophy” has prepared and organized the thousands of awards distributed at the show for four years. Always known for her smile and encouragement to all, it was Ghedin who received the applause today as she won the Suitable to Become a Dressage Horse (5 year old) class with her partner Remy Martin G.

“I was a nervous wreck this morning,” she recalled. “But then I thought I will go there and have fun. When I heard the grounds crew and everyone in the committee stand cheering for me, it was just wonderful. I’m ecstatic.” Grand Prix rider Sahar Hirosh summed it up, “She’s been cheering everyone for years. To see her winning is really great.”
