Kreuth, October 24—By International Horse Press—Nadia Schieder entered the pen as the last competitor in the finals aboard her gelding RM Spooksgottastar (NRHA Three Million Dollar Sire Spooks Gotta Whiz x Starmax Rm). After winning all four levels of the go round with a 215 score, Schieder did not expect to do even better in the Finals, so she was very excited about her run which she closed with a 218.5: “I am just so happy. I have never had the opportunity to ride such a good horse. He was bred by our friend [Massimo Rudari] and trained by my husband [Italian Professional Max Ruggeri] from the beginning for our clients and about a month ago they decided to sell him, so we purchased him and it was the best choice in a long time.” The Italian rider shared that when she went to his stall before the run, the horse neighed at her. “That was a sign…after the run, I told my husband ‘now he is a true non pro horse,’” said the smiling Champion after claiming the titles in all four levels. Schieder next plans to show her horse in Cremona, Italy at the Italian Reining Horse Futurity, and then she will give him a long winter break surely deserves.
