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.

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!

Cedar Crest instructor, Wendy Brooke, who is particularly recognized for her skills as a teacher of dressage took Helen Van der Voort's Andalusian stallion, Jaqueton, to this Connecticut Dressage Association sanctioned show where they clearly impressed the judge!

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.
