completed all three phases and earned placings. In Advanced , the top three winners were sired by Hol- steiner stallions.


Mai Baum Wins Advanced Tamie Smith of Murrieta, California, rode Mai Baum (Loredano x Leoni) for owners Alexandra Ahearn, Ellen Ahearn and Eric Markell. Te bay gelding earned first in the $40,000 Adequan Gold Cup Ad- vanced Final, starting with a winning dressage score of 26.4. With a few time penalties cross country, and a clear round show jumping, he ended with 28.0. Tamie raves about the


12-year-old’s comeback. “He hasn’t been Advanced in three years, and it’s like he never missed a beat.” She discusses the setbacks


this horse overcame, start- ing with a tendon injury, and then illness that kept him hospitalized for three months. “It’s been just one thing after another,” she says. “He fell down in a trailer and sliced open his leg. He was in a cast for three months. Ten it was bringing him back from that and having that heal.” In total he was off


for two years, and

Tamie had to recondition him from being “a big fat marshmallow. It’s taken quite a long time to get him back strong and fit.” “I was literally in tears going around that track,”


she says about the cross-country in Colorado. “He is just exceptional. I can’t even believe I get to ride him every time I sit on him. Unbelievable!” Tamie says he feels strong, and responds to her:


“He was pulling my arms out. I was making a little bit of daring decisions out there on the course, and he saved me a couple of times. I was just trying to be very efficient and not have to go fast. I took little chances here and there.” Mai Baum traces back to Lord through his sire


Loredano (Lordanos x Alcatraz), and also back to Ladykiller xx through his damsire. He is 30 percent Toroughbred, according to Horse Telex.


Holsteiners Second and Third in Advanced In second place was Revitavet Capato (Contendro I x Amoroso I), a 15-year-old owned and ridden by Jordan Linstedt of Duvall, Washington. In his dres- sage test, he scored a point behind Mai Baum (27.5 to 26.4). “He’s strong on the flat,” says Jordan about her four-star horse. He’s competed at the Rolex event in Kentucky in 2015 and 2016. He won the 2017 Bromont CCI3*. “He was
