It was the Buck Davidson show this weekend at Rocking Horse, with Buck taking first and second in both the Open Intermediate A and B divisions. Ballynoecastle RM pulled a rail in the show jumping to add four faults to his 27.2 dressage score, ultimately winning the OI-A over The Apprentice, who finished just .4 faults behind. In the OI-B, Buck and No More Rocks finished on their dressage score of 28 to win the division; D.A. Adirmo finished on a dressage score of 29.6 to place a close second. It’s thrilling to see the competition season gearing up, especially on a weekend when the north is facing bitter cold and snow. Go Buck!
