Cortes C International Horse o

Raw talent and a drive for success have served Beezie Madden and Cortes 'C' well. Owned by Abigail Wexner, the 2002 Belgian Warmblood gelding has had a string of stellar performances with Madden in the saddle since 2011, with 2014 being their most impressive year yet. With wins at the Ruby et Violette WEF and the FTI Consulting WEF, they went on to clinch victory for the US in the Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup, and another in the Longlines King George V Gold Cup. At the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, Cortes was ridden in the "Final Four" competition, jumping four clear rounds and earning the "Best Horse" title, and Madden the bronze medal. Cortes capped off a stellar year by being named International Horse of the Year by the USEF.
