November 18, 2018 – Annual Fall Horse Trials & Combined Test Event

Thank you and Congratulations to the brave riders, coaches, support teams and VOLUNTEERS who were able to turn out on this cold and blustery day!

Highlights of the day go to the following participants!

Margaret Henry & Jay on the Lowest Dressage Score of the day with a 25. Margaret was thrilled with her score and so chilled to the bone that she withdrew on that special score!           Audra Gogel & Abbott won Novice 38.5

Kathleen Elberson & Mulligan Man went on to win the BN Novice Division on her dressage score of 32.5!

Daria Grasse and Murphy’s Law won the Jump Start/Pre BN Division at their very first show together and the OVERALL LOW SCORE in our HT of 29.5  We COMBINED both Divisions and gave BONUS Points OPTIONS on one 2’3” SJ, and two 2’3” Options on Cross Country which were open to anyone in the division to encourage riders to challenge themselves if they wished while the adrenalin was running high! Congratulations to our Bold Riders!

Sophia Peters and Champagne, Won the Pony Club Low Score of the Day Tri Colored Ribbon!
