Wellington International hosted the third ‘Friday Night Stars’ of the 2025 Adequan® Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) in Wellington, FL. The stands were filled with enthusiastic fans and the atmosphere electric, motivating Lyle and Helix to score more than 2.7% higher than their previous best score, set in December 2024. They topped an all-American sweep of the top four places.

Her compatriot Anna Marek rode a powerful test on Cynthia Davila’s 15-year-old Zizi Top x Houston gelding Fayvel to claim second with 78.785%. Last to go in the class, P.J. Rizvi and the 14-year-old Lusitano stallion Vanilla Ice got the crowd clapping along to their ice-themed freestyle from the get-go, finishing third with 76.585%. American rapper and mutual friend of Rizvi, Vanilla Ice himself—Robert van Winkle—presented the awards in the prizegiving.”
