NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR ALISON LINDSAY AND CEDAR CREST BEWITCHED

After a busy summer of trying to qualify for the Marshall & Sterling National Pony Jumper Finals, Alison and Bee finally made it into the 13th spot of the 15 places available, and were able to attend the championships at HITS, Saugerties on September 10th.

The finals were held in failing light in the Grand Prix ring over a challenging 13-fence course making full use of the space available. The combination from Cedar Crest were one of only five to make it through to the jump-off with a fault-free first round. Alison jumped a well-judged clear again in the jump-off and ended up the winner as each of the other ponies lowered a rail.

HITS-ON-THE-HUDSON I

We were delighted to discover that the footing is finally up to par at HITS in Saugerties and our horses showed their appreciation by jumping brilliantly at their first outing of the year.

10-year-old Caroline Day on her Cedar Crest Farm purchase, Purple Mor, placed 5th in the Level 0 Jumper and the Level 1 Jumper, a great achievement for such a young rider at her first A-rated show.

Alison Lindsay, who has just turned 13, also put on a great display by winning both the Child/Adult Jumper Class and the Pony Jumper Class on her 14.2 pony Cedar Crest Bewitched.

Gerry Lindsay on the farm's latest Irish import, Cedar Crest Castle Diamond won and placed in the Level 3 division, ending up Reserve Champion at that level for the week; while Paul's good performance on Polka in the Level 4 classes also resulted in him taking the Reserve Champion ribbon.
