13-year-old Madeline Parisan and Hope To Star finished second in their Preliminary Rider division
From Helen Casteel:
Hi EN!
We had a picture perfect weekend for Waredaca’s June 2-3 event in Laytonsville, MD. The DC/MD/VA area got pounded by heavy t-storms Friday and we had about two inches of rain in a couple of hours. The ground absorbed it all which created near perfect footing for our competitors.
About 350 combinations competed including Phillip Dutton, Sally Cousins, Boyd Martin, and Buck Davidson who’s collarbone appears to no longer be be a hinderance. He had four in the OP and all finished on their dressage score; Copper Beach (below) looked especially impressive. Lee Lee Jones and The Foreman skipped around cross country and we were all happy that area VIII’s Robin Walker had five beautiful rides in the Intermediate and Preliminary divisions.
Many thanks to our generous sponsors, including but not limited to: Southern States, Bit of Britain, Black Country Saddlery, Jump4Joy, SSG Gloves, and Potomac Valley Orthopaedic Associates. We value their partnership and support of our sport!
