Television Program to Present Highlights from Successful December 2009 Event Featuring Leading Equestrians
The 2009 SUCCEED® Holiday Fundraiser to benefit the United States Equestrian Team Foundation (USET) has come and gone. But the fun can be relived again on HRTV. Highlights of the event will premier on the network Monday, March 15 at 10:30 P.M. ET/7:30 P.M. PT, and re-air Tuesday and the following Sunday, March 21.
The USET Holiday Gala Fundraiser was originally held live at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in Wellington, FL, last December 11-12. The event raised $20,853 for the USET Foundation. The two-night program of live performances featured more than 20 celebrities from across the equestrian world. Some of the equestrians involved in the program include dressage Olympian Steffen Peters, Karen and David O’Connor, Chester Weber, Lynn Palm, Monty Roberts, Gina Miles, Courtney King-Dye, and many more.
“We are proud of our contribution to the teams and to the industry at large,” said John Hall, President of Freedom Health, makers of SUCCEED® and co-host and co-sponsor of the event. “In addition to raising funds for the US Teams, this event was simply a great time for all involved, and is sure to be great television entertainment for horse enthusiasts everywhere.”
The USET Fundraiser is co-sponsored by SUCCEED® and Wellington Classic Dressage. For more information on the 2009 Gala, including photographs from the event, visit www.succeedevent.com.

ust before the lunch break in the dressage phase of the B&D Builders CCI4*-S at The Event at TerraNova, Hallie Coon and the 11-year-old Holsteiner mare Cute Girl (Coventry x Caligula), whom Coon co-owns with Helen Coon, performed a foot perfect test to take the lead (28.5) from Phillip Dutton, who held the top three placings all morning. Caroline Pamukcu and the 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding Redfield Dexter (Dexter R x Zyreina Weering), owned by Pamukcu, Sherrie Martin, and The Dexter Syndicate, had a bold, forward test to slot into third place (33.5).
