An Aussie has won the American Eventing Championships intermediate division and she did it in convincing fashion. Kadi Eykamp, who currently lives in Dallas, Texas, and the Canadian warmblood Double Rivers Really Cool never left their win in doubt this weekend. They destroyed the competition in the dressage, made the cross-country look easy, and won by 9 points today despite a rail. Katlyn McMorris and the veteran 15 year old Clifton Peekachu finished on a 36.2 for second. Buck Davidson and LA Albert got a first look at the show jumping arena for his two advanced rides today and finished in 3rd with LA Albert.
American Eventing Championship Intermediate Results:
1. Kadi Eykamp and Double Rivers Really Cool +4 27.6
2. Katlyn McMorris and Clifton Peekachu +4 36.2
3. Buck Davidson and LA Albert +4 36.8
4. Angela Grywinski and Novelle +0 39.0
5. Lisa Barry and FIS Prince Charming +4 39.5
If the advanced show jumping, which stars in a few minutes, is anything like the intermediate then we are in for an exciting finish. Just 3 of 22 jumpers had clear rounds. Angela Grzywinski and Novelle moved all the way up from 13th to 4th in the show jumping with a double-clear.
A local country radio station, 92.5 The Bear has had a few updates from the AECs interspersed with their Saturday afternoon country lineup. I’m not sure how many more updates they will have, but you can click here to tune in. The advanced is coming soon. Go eventing.
