Redwood Valley Equestrian Centre is pleased to announce the winners of this week's competition!
Dressage had three horses competing in its level II competition, and ultimately SNG Winner Either Way took home first with a nearly flawless round. MR Moonlight Vesperae placed second, a minor disobedience setting her back, and Spaniel of a Dream took home third with a bolt that caused her to leap over the fence and disqualify herself. The judge gives his congratulations to SNG Winner Either Way for such an outstanding performance!
Cross-country had four entries, but it was no less competitive than a division with seventeen horses! Préachán o Frainc shocked the crowd with a faultless run, despite being a Tennessee Walking Horse that would have been assumed to have been good only at flatwork, and placed first in the competition with an extremely impressive time. RAE Ride of the Valkyries came in at a close second, slowed only by knocking three poles down over jumps but managing to make it up in record time. Finscéal de mo Tír was third, struggling to recover after a trip that nearly disqualified him, and MR Tenebris Glory took home fourth with another faultless, albeit cautious run.
Jumpers was the most popular of all the disciplines, with five competitive entries setting the people watching on the edge of their seat. TRRA Duke of Devonshire came in first, with no poles knocked and the all-around fastest time at the competition, and MR Tenebris Glory was a close second, much to the raised eyebrows of the crowd. Spaniel of a Dream came in third, held back only by her speed, and Baywatch Mystery placed fourth due to a disobedience that resulted in a slower time than she could have had. Toirneach Agus Tintreach took home fifth as the result of a spook that had set her off-balance for the remainder of the competition.
