Fein Cera Wins "Best Horse" Title

When Peter was asked what it was about Fein Cera that earned her the honor of being awarded the Best Horse title, he noted, "I will take some of the credit but she has all the right ingredients. She's got tremendous scope, her technique is perfect, she jumps round, she is elastic in her body and she has a super mind. We complement each other very well. I'm happy because I feel like I work very hard and I feel like I will be recognized a little differently in the sport."

Peter also took a moment to thank Conrad Homfeld. "I truly believe he is the best horseman in the United States. Just look at his medal chest. He's incredible. Just the fact that he is here to carry my hard had around was an honor for me."

Well, Peter, there are a lot of people who watched as you went around in the Finals and in the prior five rounds. People who are proud to know you and wish they knew you. Horses don't make champions, but champions do help horses that have the ability to become champions achieve that goal. Fein Cera is one of those horses and it was you Peter who gave her the chance to earn the Best Horse title and to carry you to your Bronze Medal title. The U.S.A. is honored that you represented our country and achieved this success.
