Freddie Vazquez & Hero Set the Tone for WEF '26

11/16/25, Wellington, FL - We are all (kind of) obsessed with Hero. And for good reason. With our fearless leader, Freddie Vazquez, in the irons, they were definitely the subject of some "Oh, who's that?" at the horse show this week.

Here they are, earning 3rd place in the $1,000 CSI 3* Bainbridge Companies 1.40m Power and Speed on Thursday.

Then delivering a tidy round in the $62,000 Arthramid CSI 3* Grand Prix Qualifier, earning their place in Sunday’s $120,000 Zycosan CSI 3* Grand Prix.

And here they are in the GP on Sunday. 😍

"He always lives up to his name…. Who doesn’t need a Hero as you walk into the loneliest, most intimidating place in the WEF showgrounds, “The International Arena," says Freddie. "He has a way about him where confidence and calmness set in as you trot under the famous International Bridge and pick up the canter to head to that first fence!

He’s truly a Super Hero! I'm so grateful to Joyride, always supportive friends, partners, and clients, for opportunities to sit on horses like this."
