Summer Sundays are always busy– ribbons, photos, and cheers for the winners, and sometimes disappointment for those at the bottom of the scoreboard.  For those with letters this weekend, chin up– we’ve all been there, and will be there again.

This weekend saw competitions from coast to coast, and as the upper level divisions have completed let’s take a look at some results from around the country.  Kelly Prather had an outstanding weekend at the New Jersey Horse Park, taking home the win in Advanced Division B with Blackfoot Mystery (see earlier post) and also winning Preliminary-A with D.A. Calimero.  Also at Jersey, Lauren Kieffer and her CIC3* partner R.F. Cosima had an easy win in Preliminary-C.  Madeline Backus won the Intermediate/Preliminary gate to wire with P.S. Adrianna at Inavale, while clear round in show jumping moved Ferial Johnson and Bali Hai into the lead at Groton House.
