OCALA, Florida, Dec. 13, 2024–Adrienne Lyle rode Helix to victory in the World Equestrian Center’s World Cup Grand Prix Freestyle Friday night to earn the American Olympic partnership a big step toward contending for a start at the championship Final in Switzerland next April.

Adrienne and the 12-year-old KWPN gelding scored 77.610% in just the second musical performance for the duo that has been paired in the competition arena less than a year but was previously shown at Big Tour for almost a year by a Swede. The score was the highest so far for Helix.
