Chiraz, a 6-year old RPSI mare owned by Paula Hagen-Peterson, is excelling in the little-known equestrian sport of combined driving.
While combined driving doesn't get as much press as the jumpers or dressage ring results, the sport is challenging and the
competition fierce. Chiraz is starting her East Coast career in January of 2012.
Chiraz was a silver medal foal by Cherif, out of Victory's Chelsea. She has competed in combined driving for 2 1/2 years
and has moved from Training Level to Preliminary Level and in January will move up to Intermediate. In her short show career
she has won almost every event she has gone to with a clean sweep of all 3 sections in her last event of the year, last month.
Chiraz's results include 1st at the 2011 Cowboy Country CDE, Preliminary;
1st at 2011 Longview Lake HDT, Preliminary level
Best Conditioned Horse at the 2011 Longview Lake HDT;
3rd at the 2011 Skunk River CDE, Preliminary level;
1st at the 2011 20-Mile House CDE, Preliminary level;
1st at the 2011 RMCC Spring ADT, Preliminary level. Watch for Cheriz and Paula in the future - their goal is the 2014 or
2017 World Singles Driving Championships.
