Whitney Mahloch has moved up the levels with Military Mind, earning several wins at the Preliminary level together before stepping up to Intermediate last year. The pair won their Intermediate debut at Ottter Creek last September and have enjoyed several top placings at the level this year. This weekend at Waredaca, the pair earned their second win at the level, adding .80 time penalties to their cross country time to take home the blue.

Daniel Clasing’s promising mare, Crimson, picked up second place and her highest placing since moving up to Intermediate earlier this year. This weekend was Crimson’s fourth start at the level, and she also took home the T.I.P High Point award. Go Thoroughbreds!

Kurt Martin subbed in for Marilyn Little this weekend while Marilyn is in Europe, piloting RF West Indie and RF Quarterman to third and fifth place, respectively.

Elinor MacPhail and RF Eloquence let from start to finish, taking their time on cross country, as it appears most other pairs did, and having a couple of rails down in show jumping. Libby Head and Sir Rockstar were out for their first run since Rolex and picked up second place as well as the T.I.P High Point award. Elinor MacPhail rounds out the division in third place with True Dynamite.

The Area X Intermediate Championships were held at The Event at Santa Fe this weekend. While Bonner Carpenter and Basco were the only pair competing, they still earned their blue ribbon, adding 8 time on cross country to otherwise finish on their dressage score.

Christan Eagles and Bugatti, also the sole pair in their division, also earned a blue in the Open Intermediate division. Lynn Partridge picked up a one-two finish in the Open Preliminary division with Zoe and Zaire, respectively, followed by Heather Morris and Charlie Tango.

Championships were also being run at the Genesee Valley Riding and Driving Club HT. In the Preliminary Championship, Drew Keller was able to move up from fifth after dressage to lead after cross country. Drew then went on to a double clear show jump round and will take home the blue ribbon. Drew and Detailed Just Right, an Appendix Quarter Horse, have been campaigning together for a few years now, and this is their first big win at the Preliminary level. Congratulations, Drew!

Indra Rapinchuk-Souccar and Dream Girl also enjoyed a move up after cross country, as they were lying in sixth after dressage. Baylee Bennett and Amore Ti Amo moved from seventh to third after cross country and held onto that placing with one rail down in show jumping.
