The Buffalo Wild Wings Future Challenge FEI Prix St. Georges took place during week 10 of the 2025 Adequan Global dressage Festival in Wellington, FL. The class is open to small tour horses aged seven to nine, providing them with the opportunity to perform in front of international judges without some of the pressures of a full international competition. Canadians Belinda Trussell and Andrea Woodard claimed the top two spots in the class, with Trussell and her mare Quincy earning a ticket to the final.
Trussell, a two-time Olympian, is still building a relationship with Quincy, who was imported from Europe in 2024. She appreciates the developing horse classes as a way to prepare young horses for the international grand prix ring. Trussell plans to move Quincy up to Intermediate I level after the final and hopes to eventually compete in CDIs. The Prix St. Georges Future Challenge has been a valuable opportunity for Quincy to gain experience and exposure in a competitive environment.
