September 28, 2013 – The Southeast Medal Finals just wrapped up an extremely successful week at the world class Jacksonville Equestrian Center. “Our show grew three times the size it was last year,” commented Bob Bell, President of the Classic Company. “I attribute this to the fact that the show is on the right date, the week before the indoor events start, in the right location and the fact that the Southeast Medal Finals have grown in popularity,” he added.
Ashley Foster, trained by Patty Foster, won the ASPCA Maclay Regional Championship. Hayley Waters won the EMO Championship, Barbara Ann Merryman won the Southeast Junior Medal Championship, Emily Jones won the Phelps Media Group Southeast Adult Medal Championship, Ashley Foster won the Land Rover 3′ Medal, and Brett Burlington won the Cedar Street 3’6 Medal Championship. Lee Cessory and her own Trantino won the Southeast Medal Finals Adult Amateur Hunter Championship. Ashton Alexander rode Susan Stein’s Victor VDL to the championship win in the Southeast Medal Finals Junior Hunter Championship. Jordan Coyne won both the $25,000 Land Rover Grand Prix and the $5,000 Open Welcome Class on her own mounts, Cordova and Lazaro, respectively.
“We are so thrilled with the growth of this show and the success of the Southeast Medal Finals. We strongly encourage other show managers to consider offering Southeast Medal Finals qualifying classes,” said Bell. “There is no charge for show management to offer these classes, nor is there any charge to the competitors,” said Bell. “Really, this is a win-win for everyone!” he added. “We anticipate this show to experience another massive increase next year and are looking forward to showcasing the top equestrian talent in the country,” he continued.
