Steffen Peters and El Torro B In Charge of Small Tour at 2023 CDI Temecula

Steffen Peters and El Torro B reinforced themselves as the pair to watch as they aced the 1* Intermediaire I at the 2023 CDI Temecula in California on Saturday 6 May 2023.

This new duo was great yesterday when they won the CDI1* Prix St. Georges and they were simply spectacular today. They locked up the Small Tour victory with a 76.618% in this class sponsored by Louise Leatherdale.

"He's a real pleasure to ride," said Steffen of the 14-year-old KWPN by Painted Black and owned by James and Mary Keenan. Mary was on hand for both victories and shared the back story of having recognized El Torro's potential as a 4-year-old in Holland.

"He is such an extremely honest horse," Steffen enthused. "Like Mopsie (Suppenkasper), he wants to do a little more, so I am constantly telling him, 'This is enough. We don't need quite this much.'"
