Ocala, Florida, United States – February 06, 2025 – World Equestrian Center in Ocala has always brought out the best in Kady Abrahamson (NED). It was no different as the American guided Martini VDL towards reserve honors in the $32,000 Buckeye Nutrition Grand Prix Qualifier CSI 2* against a competitive field of 34 horse-and-rider combinations representing 13 nations.  

Ken Krome’s course challenged competitors with a tight time allowed, catching several riders off guard. Rails fell throughout the track, but eight combinations managed to leave all the fences up and stay within the time, advancing to the jump-off. 

Kady Abrahamson (USA) piloted Martini VDL (Zapatero VDL x Harley), an eight-year-old KWPN gelding owned by Abrahamson Equestrian LLC, to a close second place. They crossed the timers just a tenth of a second behind in 36.70 seconds.
