Adrienne Lyle competes My Vitality at Wellington's Global Dressage Festival as one of a handful of prospects that she hopes will earn her a place on the U.S. Olympic team in Los Angeles in 2028.
Adrienne was awarded 76.176% from the single judge, highest rated FEI official Janet Lee Foy of the United States, in the Intermediare II, one level below Grand Prix with the rider allowed to carry a whip in the national contest.
"I'm thrilled," said Adrienne after the ride.
My Vitality is just one of several prospects being developed by Adrienne for Zen Elite Equestrian Center, owned by Florida entrepreneur Heidi Humphries.
Others include One Million, a KWPN stallion aged seven; Don Machiavelli, 11-year-old German-bred gelding; Hussmanns Topgun, a 10-year-old Danish-bred gelding out of Totilas Adrienne is competing at Prix St. Georges, and Lars van de Hoenderheid, 15-year-old Belgian gelding that was competed by Adrienne at Grand Prix in Florida and Europe in 2024.
Heidi's Zen Elite also owns Indian Rock ridden by Christian Simonson, a student of Adrienne and who has already qualified for the World Cup championship in Fort Worth, Texas next April. Christian on the 13-year-old Dutch-bred stallion is currently the top ranked American at No. 9 in the world.
Marcus Orlob on Jane, the mare he competed in Paris in 2024, is the second ranked American partnership. With owner Alice Tarjan, he has dedicated the past 18 months to overcoming show ring tension that appears to be succeeding.
