Monday Video: Your Area VI Intro Champions, Janet Nelson and Phantom Spanish Pants

Let’s take a moment on this fine Monday afternoon to flashback just a couple weekends ago to the USEA Area VI Championships, which took place at Ram Tap Horse Park from October 21-23. Nine area champions were crowned that weekend from Preliminary through Intro divisions.

Let’s talk about the Intro championship division for a minute. Ram Tap treated their Intro riders to dressage judges seated at both C and B — how’s that’s for a high-pressure championship test? Janet Nelson and Ava Chase’s 19-year old Pony of the Americas, Phantom Spanish Pants (Yes, Phantom Spanish Pants — I don’t know what that means, but I love it), sat in second place after the dressage and then went on to jump double clear in the next to phases to finish on their dressage score and clinch the championship. Enjoy their cross country round above! Congratulations, Janet!
