Del Mar Summer Series Ends on a High Note With Del Mar Summer Classic 2 CSI2*

Del Mar, CA - September 6, 2023 - The Del Mar Summer Series came to a thrilling conclusion with the highly anticipated Del Mar Summer Classic 2, and it was an event to remember with HITS Del Mar’s first FEI competition. 

One of the highlights of the Del Mar Summer Classic 2 was the $25,000 Summit Max Welcome, where the dynamic duo of Cassio Rivetti and Olivo emerged victorious. This class donated $50 from each entry to Feeding San Diego, a charitable organization dedicated to fighting hunger in the region.

Cassio Rivetti continued his winning streak, taking home the blue ribbon in the highly anticipated $100,000 FEI Great American Grand Prix, Cassio Rivetti once again showcased his talent, this time riding Billy Dorito to the winner's circle. His remarkable consistency in top-level competitions has made him a force to be reckoned with in the equestrian world.

Adding to the excitement, Skylar Wireman and Tornado put on a show of their own. They not only claimed the third position overall in the $100,000 FEI Great American Grand Prix but also demonstrated their lightning-fast skills in the Interactive Mortgage U25 competition, where they were the fastest time.

As the Del Mar Summer Series concludes, the HITS Del Mar team eagerly anticipates the upcoming Fall Shows where we will feature the Marshall & Sterling League West Coast Finals at the Del Mar Fall Classic. As well as our first regional show, the Del Mar Fall Preview.
