Saugerties, NY (September 21, 2021) - Lumière Horses Inc (LHI)'s Gabriela Reutter recently wrapped up a few weeks of showing at HITS-on-the-Hudson, where she has been prepping her top Grand Prix mare for a European CSIO Nations Cup tour and putting show miles on her three other horses. Reutter, who trains under the guidance of Olympian Chris Kappler, is focused on developing all of her campaign and sales horses to their maximum potential in the show ring.
She and her Grand Prix horse Maharees Rock, aka Rocky, are scheduled to compete for Chile in 2 CSIO 3* Nation Cups held in October and November in Spain and Portugal. Rocky's steadily improving performances over the past year have slated her as a serious international level competitor, and the senior Nations Cups will be a first for both horse and rider. At HITS, Rocky and Reutter jumped to a first-place finish in the $5,000 1.40M HITS Open Welcome, and finished 11th in the CSI 2-star HITS Grand Prix. Furthermore, Here I Am Z (aka Hero), a newly added campaign horse for Reutter, also jumped in the ribbons at HITS with a 4th, 6th, & 8th in the 1.30M.
In early 2021, LHI imported two hand-selected horses to add to their roster: 11-year-oold Daikina D’Heyboght Z and 7-year-old Il Etait Une Fois a Rivereuille. Known around the barn as Daikina and River, both have begun 1.30M+ show careers with Lumière Horses Inc. and are offered for sale. LHI soon welcomed two other sale horses: I Mose VLS (aka Mosie) and Performance EP, both of whom also put in solid performances at HITS:

Reutter's passion for equestrian sport began at a young age, and has since taken her to the upper echelons of show jumping. Combining talent, horsemanship, and dedication to her dreams, she rides with the aspiration of representing Chile at the pinnacle of show jumping sport. Born in Santiago, Chile, Gaby began riding at only four years old. At 17, she moved to the United States to pursue a professional show jumping career. Since 2014, she has ridden under the guidance of Olympic Gold and Silver Medalist Chris Kappler, and completed her undergraduate degree in Economics and Business Studies at NYU.
To date, Gaby has multiple top finishes in international FEI classes, from the U25 Grand Prix divisions to victory in an FEI 4-star event. She currently campaigns her two show jumpers, Maharees Rock (aka Rocky) and Here I Am Z (aka Hero). Her international equestrian CV also includes Spruce Meadows, The Hampton Classic, and several junior/young rider South American Games. She and Rocky were in the top 3 in the $30,000 Pilates Rock Grand Prix during WEF 1, and in 2018, Reutter received her certificate of capability for the Pan American Games following a top 3 finish in the FEI 3-star 1.50M Captive One Classic.
