Lucky Star is by the KWPN stallion Equador by Voltaire x Ronco XX. Equador is the sire of Idocus. "Lucky", born 1993, is 17.2 hh., with tremendous work ethic and loaded with talent for upper level dressage.
With no qualifying shows for the NAYRC (North American Young Riders Champsionship) in our region, Alex and Lucky made the long trek to Ontario. By the end of the 2nd show, in Palgrave, the pair had obtained the qualifying scores necessary for representing Canada at the NAYRC in Chicago, August 10-15, 2004.
As part of Canada's only dressage team at the 2004 N.A.Y.R.C. in Chicago, Illinois, Alexandra and her teamates captured the Team Silver Medal. Alexandra went on to compete individually, finishing 8th place overall.
As a result of their scores in 2004, Alexandra and Lucky Star have been long-listed on the national team for 2005.
