Winning Juniors at WIHS Regional Hunter Finals
Maryland junior riders took home top prizes at this year’s WIHS Regional Hunter Finals on Sunday, October 30 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. In the horse division, the top three spots were taken by Maryland riders with three more finding themselves in the top 10.
Leading the victory gallop was Mary Claire Medeiros riding her own Olivia. The Chevy Chase 13-year-old just started riding Olivia this summer and has only shown her twice at 3′. In second place was fellow Marylander Marissa Simmons riding her own Black Magic. Molly Cole rode Streett Moore’s Newport to take third place.
Also placing in the division from Maryland were Logan Booker riding her own Here Comes The Sun to fifth, Chelsea Director aboard her own Urban in sixth and Catherine Rodda riding Weekend Affair for Elizabeth Perretta in seventh.
Although the top placing rider for the WIHS Regional Hunter Finals Ponies division was not from Maryland (winner was David Pawlak riding Liseter Clever Star for Dr. Betsee Parker), Maryland riders took second through seventh places. Leading the pack was Elena Desanti riding Sand Castle for Streett Moore.
The Equiery’s June cover girl and 2010 Equiery Perpetual Hunter Award winner Sarah Boston earned third place riding her own Blackberry. Abigail Kaufman rode Just Because to fourth, a pony she co-owns with her mom Jillian. Sarah’s twin sister Grace Boston earned fifth place riding Sham’s Loganberry while Emily Gebhardt and Cloud Cover (owned by William Barr) placed sixth. In seventh was Jack Sullivan riding Frances Ann Merryman’s (of Baltimore) Farnley Milton.
