Weekend Winners: GMHA, Fair Hill, WindRidge, Otter Creek, Woodside, Area VII YR Benefit

The competition was HOT out there this weekend! Big, shiny blue ribbons were doled to deserving recipients at five events around the vast Eventing Nation.

Gotta give a shout-out to EN’s own Jenni Autry, who finished 4th in a division of Training at Fair Hill International in her debut outing with new stud-muffin Imperial Striker (“Derry”). Great to see Jenni partnered with such a cool ride. Just one spot above them in the placings was EN blogger extraordinaire Holly Covey, who finished 3rd with Tully Cross Hamish. Way to represent, team!

First show with a new horse … always an adventure! Derry is a pretty cool customer at home, and he perked right up at Fair Hill today. 28.0 is a personal best for me in dressage, and there is so much more there once we polish up the test. We have been working hard to get him more in front of the leg for show jumping, and needless to say we did not have that problem today! He was raring to go and had an exuberant two rails down, but that was forgiven on cross country. He was absolutely foot perfect and cruised around well inside the time to finish 4th. It's a bummer to know he would have won without the rails, but today was a big step forward in building our partnership. THANK YOU to @domschramm @jimmiehschramm @joshautry @gailmink @emilylehman21 @riverrunak for slogging through a very hot and humid day. Shoutout to @jprettyman_ for getting it done with Cooley Mullingar 💪 Thank you to @stevenjberkowitz for the fabulous photo. Onwards and upwards! 🍀🦄

Amazing weekend at Fair Hill Horse Trials for Team PDF! 4 horses, 0 jump penalties, and 4 ribbons! Chloe rocked around the prelim adding only a few time penalties to her dressage score to finish in 6th. Dawson finally cracked into the 20’s in dressage and added nothing to his score to finish 6th in the Training. James was a bit sassy in dressage but was a total beast in show jumping and cross country to finish in 7th place in the Novice. This little red headed pocket rocket is going to need some bigger jumps soon! So proud of my three kids and the progress they’ve made so far this year! Super-groom @skceventer has the best result of the weekend with a WIN in the Training Rider division! Sarah’s been working so hard to form a partnership with Oliver and it’s awesome to see their hard work pay off! So proud of you Sarah 😘🎉🥇 Thank you to our amazing sponsors who help make successful weekends like this one possible! #eventing #superweekend #teamblue @triplecrownfeed @revitavetofficial @eqyss @horsequencher @decopony @stubbenna @equinecomfortproducts @cooleyfarmhorses #guardianhorsebedding

Adelaide SWF had a double clean cross country and gained confidence as she navigated the course. Now she gets to go home with all of these pretty prizes! #winning #raydianceeventing #holsteiner #woodsideeventing #eventing
