Elle Boyd and Bugatti
There, Elle made her WCHR Hunter Spectacular debut one to remember! She and Bugatti continued their exceptional week by producing two beautiful rounds, earning scores of 85.66 and 84.66 to claim eighth place against some of the country’s best horse-and-rider combinations.
What an incredible accomplishment for this partnership! We are so grateful for Stephanie and Austin Cumming, of Pecan Lane Farm, and Liddy Strickland for allowing Elle to ride such a special horse. We are so thankful that Elle is able to have these amazing opportunities. We truly could not be more proud of Elle on this night, handling the pressure and riding like a pro!
In addition to finishing eighth in her first $150,000 WCHR Peter Wetherill Palm Beach Hunter Spectacular, Elle received the WCHR Kiara Barnett Rider Style Award, donated by Bryan Baldwin and Tammy Williams. What an accomplishment for this young rider! We are beyond proud. Thank you to the entire team behind her.
