Nineteen-year-old Pablo makes dreams come true for Ava MacCoubrey

WELLINGTON - A dream has come true for fourteen-year-old Canadian rider Ava MacCoubrey now that she has started in Wellington with Pablo. With the now nineteen-year-old Pablo, Ava MacCoubrey started in the international dressage junior classes and grabbed a victory and a second place.

Pablo (Cordial Medoc x Voltaire), who was sold at the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 1997, made a dream come true for the fourteen-year-old Ava MacCoubrey. Thanks to the proceeds from a fundraising, the Canadian was able to start in Wellington. Ava MacCoubrey does not come from a horse family, but her parents do everything they can to give her opportunities in dressage. “I have three jobs to pay for her horseback riding,” Ava's mother says. “But I like to do that!”

Pablo and Ava MacCoubrey's 2016 goal is to represent the Ontario junior team in Kentucky this July. With scores of 65.72 percent and 65.55 percent respectively and a win and second place in Wellington, Ava and Pablo seem on the right track!
