Some victories are more than just wins—they are the result of years of dedication, passion, and resilience. For Emilie, this past weekend marked a milestone moment in her career: her first-ever 5* Grand Prix victory! And to make it even more special, it happened on International Women’s Day, a day that honors courage, ambition, and pushing boundaries. 💪
Riding the incredible Portobella v/d Fruitkorf, Emilie delivered a flawless performance, securing a win that will forever be etched in her memory. This wasn’t just a victory, it was the realization of a dream she had nurtured for years. 🚀
Emilie Reflects on This Special Moment
“I woke up this morning thinking it was all a dream… and then it hit me. This is real. And I still can’t believe it. Winners of the 5* Grand Prix. 🏆
From the moment I met her as a 7-year-old, I knew she was special, but I never could have imagined just how much she would change my life. ❤️ We’ve grown together to this level and shared moments that words can’t capture. To stand here today, celebrating this victory, is overwhelming.
I am beyond grateful to my incredible team for making this possible and, most of all, to Bella, for her heart, her trust, and for making dreams come true time and time again. 🥹”
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
This achievement highlights hard work, trust, and the unbreakable bond between horse and rider. Emilie and Portobella have grown together, faced challenges, and proven that determination truly pays off.
Congratulations, Team Emilie, on this unforgettable achievement! 🎉 The journey to the top is never easy, but this is only the beginning of something even greater. 🦄
