A tribute to Courtney King-Dye at WEG

Steffan Peters wore his helmet back into the ring to collect his bronze medal for the ride he dedicated to Courtney King-Dye

In a gesture that spoke more than words, Steffan Peters rode into the ring to collect the bronze medal he won for his Freestyle test on Ravel wearing his helmet. He had dedicated his ride to Courtney King-Dye, who was in a coma after hitting her head when her horse fell. King-Dye has recovered enough to spectate at WEG.

Peters is quoted as saying:

“I sent an e-mail to Courtney today saying that tonight I would dedicate the ride to her. She has inspired me…and I felt like what she overcame in the last six months was so extremely inspiring that I made the ride for here tonight.”
