The curtain closed on the TTEA hosted FEI World Dressage Challenge 2017 held on Saturday, October 21st, 2017 at San Antonio Stables! The competition was fierce as each participant put forth their best performance for team Trinidad & Tobago. A spectacular job was done by all displaying the true art of Dressage “a sport of beauty and is only possible when there is a true partnership with the horse and rider.”
The TTEA was honored once again to welcome Sport Minister Darryl Smith and a few members of his team who came out to cheer on Team T&T.
