Meet Luigi RW
A huge congratulations to Knox Varsity Team rider, Maggie Lawrence on acquiring her new mount Luigi RW, owned by Mrs. Jennifer Lawrence. “Luigi” is a Belgian Warmblood that the Lawrence Family recently imported from the Netherlands.
Not only is Luigi breathtakingly beautiful, but he is also a highly accomplished show horse and will help Maggie reach her goal of competing in the highest equitation division known as “The Big Eq” or more formally, the ASPCA Maclay and The Dover Saddlery/USEF Hunter Seat Medal. Many past winners of these divisions have gone on to compete internationally for the United States.
We wish Maggie, Luigi, and the rest of the Knox Varsity Equestrian Team the best of luck as they depart for Wellington, Florida where they will debut in the equitation ring at the prestigious Winter Equestrian Festival.
