Suntreader and De Facto were the winners of the FEI young dressage horses classes at the American East Coast Young Horse selection trial at Morven Park in Leesburg, VA, 4 - 6 June 2010. Unfortunately neither of the winners were able to score 8.2 or above in order to qualify for the 2010 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses.
The 5-year old division was won by German born Inga Janke on Dr. Pamela Erdman's Oldenburg gelding Suntreader. The bay Sandro Hit x Rubirando offspring scored 7.9 in the preliminary test and 7.74 in the finals test to earn an overall score of 7.804. Karen Monks-Reilly and the chestnut Aesthete (by Trento B x Gribaldi) were the runners up with 7.764 points.
Only two horses competed in both rounds in the 6-year old division. Christopher Schruefer and De Facto, an Oldenburg gelding by Don Rubin x Roulette and owned by Martha Singh, scored an overall mark of 7.752. Laura Wharton-Mero and the KWPN branded Zandor (by Florencio x Amulet) finished second with 7.448 points.
