Christian Simonson and Indian Rock Victorious in Ocala CDI3* Grand Prix Special, Benjamin Ebeling on Bellena Wins Freestyle
OCALA, Florida, May 24, 2025–Christian Simonson and Indian Rock were victorious Saturday night in the World Equestrian Center’s CDI3* Grand Prix Special, wrapping up the debut competition with double wins.
Christian and the former Dutch team Olympic and World Championship horse scored 74.277% in the Special after winning the Grand Prix 24 hours earlier.
The score by the 22-year-old Christian, based in Wellington and coached by three-time Olympian Adrienne Lyle, and the 12-year-old Dutch-bred stallion was in the same ballpark as results from Emmelie Scholtens, who developed “Rocky” while representing the Netherlands through World Young Horse Championships, World Championships in 2022 and the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
