Lisa Wilcox (rider)
Lisa Wilcox (born September 8, 1966 in Thousand Oaks , California ) is an American dressage rider .
Wilcox grew up in the US state of Colorado . She started riding her father's western horses. Her first horse of her own was the quarter horse - thoroughbred mix Lucky . She began her tournament career with versatility (up to class M). She got into the dressage arena through her husband Jan Ebeling at the time. She learned her first Grand Prix program with the Oldenburg gelding Funny (sire Furioso II ; dam sire Ladykiller xx ).
To get to the top in dressage, she went to Germany and took Funny lessons from Herbert Rehbein . After four months she returned to America. However, she did not stay there for long and came back to Europe, initially to ride horses and stallions in Denmark. She then worked very successfully at the Reinsehlen stud farm in Lower Saxony , where she laid the foundation for her further career , in particular by working with the top Hanoverian stallion Condor M.
In Verden 1997, Gundula asked Vorwerk-Happ if she was looking for a new job. Then she was invited to a test ride on the then 7-year-old Oldenburg stallion Rohdiamant (father Rubinstein I ; mother father Inschallah ox ). The trial went very well and Wilcox was discontinued. Together with Rohdiamant, she made it to the Grand Prix and the couple was highly successful at numerous tournaments.
As the chief trainer of the Oldenburg Stallion Station Vorwerk-Happ, Lisa Wilcox qualified with a rough diamond for the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 . At the Olympic Games in Athens she won the bronze medal in the team dressage competition with the USA team .
