Area V dominated the young rider’s one-star championship by winning the team competition by 20 points and taking home the individual gold medal .courtesy of Alyssa Phillips and Sundance Bay. 

There were some big scores put up early in the young-riders CH-J* show jumping, but the higher placed riders stepped their game up with 3 of the last 7 rides having double-clears.  Alyssa Phillips and Sundace Bay of Area V jumped one of those double-clears and moved up from 2nd to win the gold.  Overnight leaders Sable Giesler and Evil Munchkin from Ontario pulled one rail and will go home with the silver.  The 3rd placed rider after the cross-country, Victoria New and Bally Whatnot, had a heartbreaking fall in the show jumping but they will still take home a gold for being part of the winning Area V team.  Brooke Pickering and Abbey Rode moved all the way up from 9th after the dressage to finish with bronze.
