David Beisel is no stranger to the winner’s circle at the World Equestrian Center. Beisel piloted his own Vegas H (Valentino x Cobrah), an eight-year-old Warmblood, to his second WEC Futures victory. We caught up with Beisel of David Beisel Stables, Goshen, Ohio, to chat about today’s Futures Prix win, “He is so fast and light on his toes. He steers so well, for a big horse you can make surprisingly tight turns on him.”
