Event Team Results

May 6-7 - MCTA Horse Trials at Shawan Downs- Hunt Valley, Maryland

The "Girls" were the stars of the weekend with Curvaceous, Lily, and Hanna (all mares) turning in good performances. Hanna and Neal led off the weekend competing for the first time this year. Riding at the Novice Level, they had a rough dressage test, but jumped well, including a very good looking cross county round to finish in the middle of a division of 30. Also competing at Novice, were Lily and Courtney. Fifth in the dressage, the pair put in a clean cross country round, but added two rails to finish in 10th place.

On Sunday, Curvaceous and Courtney topped the other performances. Competing at the Training Level, they placed third in the dressage and then put in clean stadium and cross country rounds, moving up to 2nd place.

May 13-14 - Plantation Field Horse Trials - Unionville, Pennsylvania

Curvaceous followed up in style on her performance the week before. With Courtney riding her at the Training Level, they put in a wonderful dressage test, scoring 27.5, over 70%, to lead their division. They went on to jump clean in stadium and add only a few seconds to take home the blue ribbon. Also winning the dressage at the Training Level were Courtney and Ever Clever. They had a clean cross county round, but added a rail in stadium to finish 4th. Courtney also rode Toy Story at Intermediate. The pair did well in all three phases, adding only a rail in stadium and some time on cross country to finish in 7th place.

Emily Hamel rode Grenadier Guard in her last event before heading home to Wisconsin. Competing at the Training Level, they did well in all three phases to finish on their dressage score in 3rd place. Sara Gartland competed in her first Preliminary Level event. Riding Always a Lady, she also did well in all three phases to finish 3rd as well.
