1st place Amateur Handler at Dressage at Devon 2004
Though the victories of her horses lifted breeder Angela Barilar to higher spheres, it was her 12-year old daughter Larissa winning the Amateur Handlers class that was to her the highlight of her show. " I think she is the youngest handler to ever win at Devon. We are so proud of her," Barilar said. "She showed Rumors mother St Pr. St. Pijou. She received a 9 for presentation!" -2004
