Mattell, Good, Brougham in the spotlight on Friday at Angelstone!

Jennifer Mattell and her mount Quister, the fourteen-year-old Selle Francais gelding by Kannan and Owned by Abigail Wexner, bested a field of twenty-three. They were the only pair to leave all the jumps up and within the time allowed from the $5,000 NationWide U25 Round II – 1.40M class on Friday . However, Alex Jamael was not far behind Mattell, clear over the jumps with unfortunately one time fault. Mattell, the 20-year-old from Milton, Ontario is a young up and coming talent who represented Canada at the NAJYRC just last summer, helping her team earn a silver medal. She has also been consistently competing at the Winter Equestrian Festival in the U-25 Division, where she earned top placings, and in fierce company. We are pleased to be a part of rising stars like Mattell, Madigan, Ruziska & Jamael’s careers, just to name a few, and to support their development by holding our NationWide U-25 classes.

Also in the winner’s circle yesterday, Derby riders Kristjan Good riding Salvo RSF and Isabella Brougham aboard Othello both earning the highest scores in their respective class. Handy points, hunter points, and high option points were handed reflecting the riders execution. This was our r

ecord number of entries, with fifty riders competing in yesterdays class! Thank you to our sponsor, MarBill Hill Farm for a very successful derby day!
