Bonnie and her 8 YO Vitali at I-1 (71.4% at Tampa show on 3 August)

Bonnie is an AA rider who trains herself with the help of self-video (plus a video lesson every 4-6 weeks)
She bought the 8 YO Vitali (who is 15.2) as a 4 YO from Germany based solely on video. He lives on our property and nobody else has ever ridden him.
Bonnie and Vitali won the 2nd Level AA Championship at the 2021 US Dressage Finals and were 4th Level champions at the 2023 US Dressage Finals (also Reserve Champions in the 2023 PSG class).
The video was shot in super hi def (4K). If you click on the cog icon and adjust your video quality to 2160, you will get a much sharper image.
