The LEGIS League is a popular awards program sponsored by LEGISequine.com, Horsemen Insuring Horsemen. Since its inception last year, LEGIS League Dressage has doubled its membership, and expanded to include 12 categories – encompassing all levels from Training Level through Prix St. Georges for juniors, amateurs, and professionals. Professional Elise Bishop brought two young horses to the LEGIS League Finals in August, earning the reserve championship in the Training/First Level Open Final and taking home fifth place in the Fourth Level/Prix St. Georges Final. “It’s my first year showing with my five-year-old stallion, Titanium MFR,” she explained. “I also brought Rintsje, a horse that’s new to my training program. It was a great opportunity to be able to bring them to finals and get experience. The show was well run, and I had an amazing time.” Elise and other finalists enjoyed the honor rounds and special prizes, including embroidered saddle pads, jackets, and hats. Mark your calendars for upcoming chances to qualify for the 2020 LEGIS League Finals this fall and next year.
