JORDAN LAPLACA<br />

in addition to being a USDF gold medalist, is also an FEI<br />

starred combined driver. He has competed throughout<br />

North America and has earned championship and year-end<br />

award placings in both dressage and combined driving. He<br />

has also helped many students achieve their USDF bronze,<br />

silver, and gold medals. He trains and coaches out of Maverick<br />

Hill Dressage, and is currently working with Charlotte<br />

Bredahl with his developing young horse Gold Play. n<br />

GOLD PLAY<br />

(Grey Flanell x Sir Donnerhall), is a 2015 German imported<br />

Oldenburg gelding. He was purchased by Nancy Hutson<br />

from the Hof Kasselmann Stable in Hagen Germany, as a<br />

prospect for eventual co-owner Jordan. He was a successful<br />

FEI 6-year-old last year, taking the 2021 NEDA Year-End<br />

Award Reserve Champion. In March, Gold Play was presented<br />

by Jordan to Christine Traurig at the Merkel Emerging<br />

Young Horse Program in Wellington. He has successfully<br />

competed as an FEI 7-year-old during the <strong>2022</strong> season. He<br />

has achieved scores in the upper 70%, and competed in this<br />

year's "Festival of Champions.” Outside of being an incredible<br />

athlete, Jordan describes Gold Play's character as simply<br />

“just a good boy, and is affectionate, loves to work and<br />

is always ready for the next adventure. n<br />
