Marilyn congratulating Smoke On The Water
Marilyn Little-Meredith followed up her second place CIC3* finish with a win in the CIC2* aboard the lovely RF Smoke On The Water. Marilyn swapped places with Phillip, who finished in second place in the two star. I’d say that Phillip deserves a break after riding 8 horses this weekend but there’s no doubt he will be out riding and coaching tomorrow in Aiken.
Three young riders to watch for in the future–Jacob Fletcher, Rowdie Adams, and Caroline Martin–all placed in the top seven of the CIC2*. USEF developing riders Jennie Brannigan and Doug Payne finished in 4th and 5th respectively. Selena O’Hanlon and her Pan American Games horse Foxwood High finished in 8th.

Thank you so much to Red Hills for a fantastic weekend of eventing. Many thanks to Samantha for her great coverage and stay tuned to EN this week for much more from Red Hills. The intermediate division is finishing up as I type this and when it’s done I’m on the road for an evening of driving. Thank you for your continued support of Eventing Nation and now more than ever go eventing.
