CHAMPIONSHIP GLORY FOR STACEY MAHONEY AND FLAGMOUNT CLIFF

HITS Saugerties VI proved to be another great show for Stacey Mahoney on Flagmount Cliff. They placed 5th in a Level 4 jumper class before taking 2nd place in the Modified Junior/Amateur Jumper classes over both weekend days to end up Grand Champions in that division. With points accrued from the previous week's HITS the pair were also awarded the ribbon for being Circuit Champions in the Modified Junior/Amateur division. Congratulations!

FITCH'S CORNER HORSE TRIALS

Alison Lindsay and Joanne Blackmore were again our representatives at this beautiful horse trial, featuring a challenging cross-country course designed by Capt. Mark Phillips. The event turned into a combined test when the stadium jumping had to be cancelled on the final day due to a violent thunder storm. Jo and Gerry McNamara's Irish Joker finished out of the ribbons after one stop on cross-country but Alison Lindsay and Cedar Crest Bewitched captured 3rd place after an exhilirating ride over the course.
