Super Saturday proved once again to be a huge success yesterday evening, where we had a packed arena and VIP section for the viewing of the Grand Prix, generously presented by NationWide Auto Warranty. Before any of the excitement started, kids were encouraged to join in on our Horseless Horse Show as well as a new educational activity organized by ONEquestrian in honor of their Rookie rider program. Kids hopped on a vaulting Barrel to display different riding positions and skills. Kids were then rewarded with a ‘ticket to ride’ to one of many local stables and a brand new pair of riding gloves.
It sure was an evening high in emotions and excitement, keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats! Our winner especially, Keean White took a tumble on his first mount over the last jump. He, however, made a spectacular return and recovery to the arena taking home the win on his mare Corette racing down to the last jump in the jump-off giving the VIP section a good show! Alongside White in the jump-off were riders Quentin Judge aboard HH Casey Jones from Ridgefield CT, the very competitive Alexanne Thibault and her longtime partner Chacco Prime, Hugh Graham and Knock Out 3E. Keean claimed the red ribbon and stood next to Hugh and Alexanne on the podium who were second and third respectively.
To mention a few other of our winners, Stephanie Morrison and Charmeur P were the winners of the $3,000 Jr/Am 1.40m Classic. Beaverwood’s Halo and Kilby Brunner Deforest were our Pony Jumper Classic winners, Lianna Lazzari took top honors in the Jump Canada Medal and the RH Medal was won by Vimy Henderson!
Congratulations to all!!
