Team Triple C Edges out Team Pink Power
at First Annual Hunter Nations Cup
August 31, 2013 – ROCKWOOD, ON – The first annual Hunter Nations Cup class at Angelstone was a huge success. Seven teams battled it out for bragging rights and the Nations Cup Championship title.
Team Pink Power, led by Grand Prix rider Keean White, held the win throughout the class until the final rider from Team Triple C, Carly Campbell-Cooper aboard Winston, stepped in the ring. Team Pink Power needed Campbell-Cooper to score a 78 (or under) in order to win the class. Always cool under pressure, Campbell-Cooper scored an 80 – sealing Pink Power’s fate.
Team Triple C consisted of anchor rider Carly Campbell-Cooper, Sarah Barker, Vanessa Ujarevic, and Kelsey Stapleton. Accessorized in pink from head to toe, Pink Power team members; Keean White, Muffy Guthrie, Jeff Brandmaier, and Leanna Lazarri vowed to be back next year to take the title away from Team Triple C.
Third place went to Team Stoney Fields, anchored by Claudia Wagner-Wilson with team members Taylor Bird, Sidney Jefferson, and Christine Carlsen. The horse and rider combinations were decked out according to their chosen themes; in glitter, face paint, bows, sunflowers, sequins, and braid charms.
The crowd went wild when Pink Power team member Keean White, aboard Kathleen Selke’s horse, Gemini, delivered a glass of wine and a pink rose to judge Bobbie Reber. Keean White was riding for Commitment to Educate, Angelstone Tournaments’ Scholarship Program, and had the crowd buying 50/50 tickets based on whether he would be given a score (over or under) 80 points. No wine was required, as White cleared the 80 markers by a whopping ten points raising six hundred and eighty dollars for Commitment to Educate, which was generously matched by White and Angelstone announcer, Allan Donnan. |
