BREAST IN SHOW !
A tongue-in-cheek play on words displayed by the Merill Lynch-sponsored dressage musical quadrille freestyle team during their performance ending salute at the annual 2015 Challenge of the Americas (COTA) breast cancer charity horse show event in Wellington Florida.
Now in it's twelve year, COTA raises money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation charity and is held at the International Polo Club. The show has two parts. First is a grand-prix show jumping competition where riders win for the charity increasing monetary prizes donated by sponsors, the higher the jumps that they and their horses can successfully clear.
The second part of the show is a handful of dressage musical quadrille freestyle performances, by teams each of various levels of experience. Again sponsored by organizations mentioned in the team names. All riders of course wearing some form of pink, which is the international symbol for breast cancer awareness.
To keep the show fresh, riders from this team display different words each year. In previous years they have spelled out: "THINK PINK", and my favorite: "SAVE THE TATAS".
