Four-time Olympian extends his run of dressage glory in Wellington

Steffen Peters continued his winning streak from 2020 into 2021 when he claimed his 17th consecutive international victory at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival (GDF) in Wellington, Florida.

Steffen rode his Tokyo Olympics team hopeful Suppenkasper to a solid win in the CDI4* grand prix special on 30 January. The pair, who are unbeaten in international competition since 2019, posted 75.77%, with just a mistake in the one-time changes pulling their marks down.

The 13-year-old Spielberg son, who is owned by Akiko Yamazaki and Four Winds Farm, was Steffen’s ride at the 2018 World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina, where he helped the USA team claim silver on home soil. Their scores have remained consistently high over the past two years, helping put them firmly in contention for a berth at the Tokyo Olympics later this year, where it will be the grand prix special will determine the team medals.
