Phase one of the Kubota Triple Crown is finally here and we could not be more excited to welcome everyone to Angelstone once again for this wonderful sporting event. This year, Kubota has continued their support Angelstone Tournaments in their efforts to host the exciting Triple Crown series.

The first FEI leg of three is this Saturday, followed by phases two and three being held during our summer series in August. Starting our international show jumping week yesterday with our FEI 2* Open Welcome, Presented by BFL Canada. Sixteen starters attempted to beat a track set by Catsy Cruz of Mexico. Six riders moved onto the jump off, but it was young rider Sam Walker who left out a stride to the last and raced through the timers in 38.23 seconds, ahead of second and third place finishers Keean White and Alberto Michan. A brilliant performance from the young rising star aboard Coralissa, the nine-year-old mare owned by MarBill Hill Farm.

The FEI division continues on Saturday evening in the main stadium where the $36,000 2* Grand Prix, presented by Delta Hotels will take place following the action at Stewart’s Family Zone!

Stay tuned for updates from the Great Pony Challenge & Hunter Derbies!
