Not that many young riders can say that they rode their very first Young Riders test on an Olympic team horse. For 18-year old American Maja Cornwell a dream came true last weekend, when she went down the centerline on Breaking Dawn, Ashley Holzer's 2012 London Olympic team ride.
Breaking Dawn
Breaking Dawn is a 20-year old Dutch warmblood gelding by Akribori out of Eveline (by Ronald x Vesins x Brigadier). He is bred by W. van Kessel.
He was purchased as a foal by the Dutch stable Flemming and named "Ultiems Flemming." Under Patrick van der Meer he competed up to small tour level and trained to Grand Prix.
