|
|
For
Louise Serio, contesting the $100,000 WCHR Peter Wetherill Palm Beach Hunter Spectacular is always special. And this year it was particularly rewarding when she piloted
Jennifer Burger's Rock Harbor to victory, earning her third title in a class that she was instrumental in establishing back in 1997.
"You never know when you're going to get back here again," she said with a smile. "It's very rewarding. Jennifer Burger, who owns Rock Harbor, has been a wonderful client for a long time and she's been a big supporter, so to win on her horse is really nice."
