Sarah Chatfield Charts A Win At Heidelberg Cup
April 17, 2009 Issue "Chronicle of the Horse"
Patience and focusing on the basics pays off for this rider.
Sometimes all the pieces fall into place, and for Sarah Chatfield, that day came at the Heidelberg Cup where she went home with the Heidelberg Cup trophy aboard Pattent for her high score in the Prix St. Georges (70.78%).
Although Chatfield has her own business riding and training horses, she generally only shows one horse at a time. The special bond she’s built up with “Bobby” over the past three years made her win at the Apopka, Fla., show, held March 28-29, that much better.
“He’s just wonderful. Bobby is a dream boat,” gushed Chatfield. “He’s such a fun horse to get on every day. I appreciate him so much. I’m grateful that he came into my life.”
Chatfield has been a dressage enthusiast for the past 20 years and splits her time between Lincolnville, Maine, and Cocoa, Fla. She used to work as a landscape designer, installing and maintaining perennial borders in Maine during the summer, but now she’s just focused on riding.
“I started coming to Florida in 1999. Tasha Zubrisky and I came down to train with Shelly Francis. I continued and started working with other people,” said Chatfield.
Now she regularly trains with Lisa Wilcox and Ernst Hoyos when he’s in Florida, as well as Wolfgang Kutting. During the summers she still trains with Zubrisky.
