$7,770 Hester Equestrian, LLC Jumper Classic Awards Steffee and Warsteiner the Blue

Leave a comment

The $7,770 Hester Equestrian, LLC Jumper Classic was a huge success yesterday and saw twenty horse and rider teams take to the world class grass grand prix turf over a course designed by Manuel Esparza of Mexico City, Mexico, former Assistant Designer for the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing in 2008.

“I love designing on this field,” commented Esparza. “This class is so great for horses to get experience on this turf,” he said. “I could design the course with fast options because there is so much room here and the footing is great,” he added.

Eight advanced to the second round and Andy Kocher of Ocala, Florida and Jodie Camberg’s Destiny Van De Noordheuvel set the time to beat at 39.000 seconds, well within the 42 seconds time allowed.

Holly Shepherd of Grand Bay, Alabama and Loretta Patterson’s HJ Platinum looked to beat Kocher’s time, but their clear second round in a time of 40.987 seconds would put them in second place temporarily.

Penny Brennan of Ocala, Florida and her own Japan also looked to beat Kocher’s time and turned in a lightning clear second round in a time of 37.002 seconds, taking the lead and setting the new time to beat.

Helen Gilbert’s Al Pacini, ridden by Shannon Hicks of Lake St. Louis, Missouri, was the fourth to advance to a second round, but their time of 43.513 seconds, would see them finish with two time faults.

Sara McCann of Flower Mound, Texas, riding Fleur de Lis Farms’ Bacchus S, also turned in a clear second round, but their time of 42.731 would result in one time fault.

Mikayla Foster’s Kleinzoon Van Chin Ree, ridden by Amanda Comly of Waller, Texas, followed in the jump off order, but their second round saw twelve jump faults in a time of 39.577 seconds.

Leann Kelly of Valatie, New York and Honorway Farm, LLC’s Undercover finished their second round with four jump faults in a time of 39.403 seconds.

Sean Steffee of New Orleans, Louisiana and Isabel Coleman’s Warsteiner sat in the last to go spot and used those fast options when he rode to the win in a fast and clear second round in a time of 36.311 seconds, stealing the lead from Brennan.

The class finished up with Brennan and Japan in second, Kocher and Destiny Van De Noordheuvel in third, Shepherd and HJ Platinum in fourth, McCann and Bacchus S in fifth, Hicks and Al Pacini in sixth, Kelly and Undercover in seventh, and Comly and Kleinzoon Van Chin Ree in eighth. Brooke Kemper of Culpeper, Virginia and Christina Van Patten’s Riptide earned ninth place honors as the fastest four faulter in a time of 76.401 seconds; Kelly and Sarah Hunter’s Graf Joe earned tenth place after posting a four fault first round in a time of 79.202 seconds. Eleventh place went to Heather Zuber of Zionsville, Indiana and her own Phoenix, and Lila Sessums of Clinton, Mississippi and her own Jet wrapped up the class in twelfth place.

Kocher and Ciana Win the $10,000 Horseflight Open Welcome

Leave a comment

Twenty-eight horse and rider teams jumped the $10,000 Horseflight Open Welcome yesterday on the world class grass grand prix field which saw nine return for the jump off round.

Andy Kocher of Ocala, Florida had all three of his rides qualify for the jump off round and he and his own Red Lady were the first tackle the jump off round after posting a clean first round in a time of 80.681 seconds, well within the eight six seconds time allowed. They also were clear in their second round in a time of 47.619 seconds, beating the time allowed of 62 seconds and temporarily took the lead.

Amanda Comly of Waller, Texas rode her own Can Do It 16 in a clear first round in a time of 84.974 seconds and their second round was also clean in a time of 47.804 which would have them in second place. But with seven more to go in the jump off, it was still anyone’s game.

Loretta Patterson’s Silverstone, ridden by Holly Shepherd of Grand Bay, Alabama, followed Comly in the jump off. She and Silverstone posted a clear first round in a time of 85.382 seconds. Their jump off round saw a rail come down which resulted in four jump faults in a time of 46.922. The pair stood in third with four left to go.

Kocher and Eagle Valley Partners’ Ciana had a clear first round in a time of 82.991 seconds and their jump off round saw them go clean in a time of 45.480 seconds, taking the lead.

Honorway Farm, LLC’s Leander and Leann Kelly of Valatie, New York followed Kocher and Ciana in the jump off. The pair turned in a clear second round in a time of 47.329 seconds which would have them win the fourth place ribbon overall.

Shepherd returned to the grand prix field, this time in the irons of Patterson’s Triompf. The pair had posted a clean first round in a time of 82.035 seconds, but a rail in their second round in a time of 47.406 seconds would see them finish in ninth place overall.

Kocher followed Shepherd with his third ride in the jump off, Postage Stamp Farm, LLC’s Prof De La Roque. They had four faults in a time of 45.965 seconds which would see them finish in seventh place overall.

Shepherd returned with her third ride in the jump off, this time in the irons of Patterson’s Sky Miles. They turned in a fault free round in a time of 45.979 seconds, which would find them in second place in the class overall.

Tim Maddrix of Leeds, Alabama and Baily Martin’s Contador De Bornival Z sat in the enviable last to go spot in the jump off round. Although they turned in a clear round in a time of 46.328 seconds, their time was not fast enough to grab Kocher and they would finish in third place overall.

Kocher took the win with Ciana, followed by Shepherd and Sky Miles. Third was awarded to Maddrix and Specialized, and fourth went to Leander and Kelly. Kocher and Red Lady returned for the fifth place ribbon, and sixth went to Comly and Can Do It 16. Seventh place went to Kocher and Prof De La Roq, and eighth was awarded to Silverstone and Shepherd. Shepherd returned for a ninth place ribbon in the irons of Triompf, and tenth place went to Jennie Nolen of San Antonio, Texas and Daryl Nolen’s Quasi Modo H. Frank Owens of Windcrest, Texas and DS Holdings’ MTM Twenties Girl earned eleventh place, and Hannah Donald of Highland Village, Texas and her own MTM Macho Camancho wrapped it up in twelfth place.

Cyphert and Lochinvar Win $35,000 CWD Grand Prix

Leave a comment

Cyphert and Lochinvar.

Matt Cyphert of Northlake, Texas and his own Lochinvar won today’s $35,000 CWD Grand Prix, besting a field of sixteen horse and rider teams on the world renowned grass grand prix field at the Gulf Coast Winter Classic.

Only four advanced to the jump off round. “Clearly the course was pretty appropriate with sixteen starters and four clear. It was a nice track and he [Rheinheimer] used the whole field, which was fun for us and for the spectators,” commented Cyphert.

“The height was pleasant, but there were a lot of technical questions on the field. While there were a lot rails around the course, the meat of it was the triple combination. The entire combination had to be quiet and that was the hardest part of the course,” he said. “It rode rather tight and you needed to have a careful horse and my horse is very careful,” he said.

Chanel Du Calvaire, owned and ridden by Francois Lamontagne of Saint- Eustache, Quebec, Canada, was the second to go in the class and the first to turn in a clear first round in a time of 81.817 seconds, well within the time allowed of 88 seconds. Six trips later, Cyphert and Lochinvar insured there would be a jump off when they turned in a clear first round in a time of 76.327 seconds.

Fellow Texan, Jordan Gilchrist of Flower Mound, Texas, and her own Happy Boy Van De Doornakkers joined in the jump off after posting a clear first round in a time of 84.826 seconds. Shannon Hicks of Lake St. Louis, Missouri, in the irons of Helen Gilbert’s Carit DMZ, were the last to go and turned in a clear round in a time of 81.665 seconds and joined the trio for the jump off.

Course Designer Allen Rheinheimer set the jump off course with a time allowed of 45 seconds. Lamontagne and Chanel Du Calvaire were the first to go and pulled a rail at the combination, finishing with four faults in a time of 37.127 seconds.

“Francois went in and left a stride out. My eyes got big watching him thinking if he stayed clear, we were all going to have to go all out. When he dropped a rail in the combination, I decided I would just ride it quick enough and careful,” said Cyphert.

Cyphert did just that, posting a clear jump off round in a time of 39.432 seconds. Gilchrist and Happy Boy Van De Doornakkers were next, but with a rail in the combination, the four faults in a time of 41.547 seconds would see them sitting in third place.

Hicks and Carit DMZ had the enviable last to go position but finished with twelve jump faults in a time of 43.483 seconds, putting them in fourth place overall.

“It’s so tough when there is a smaller number in the jump off and if you’re going early you just have to decide how you’re going to play it. It’s a chess match for all of us,” commented Cyphert. “I decided to be quick enough and careful. It worked out for us and I’m really happy for both me and my horse,” he said.

Fifth place went to the fastest of the four faulters, Holly Shepherd of Grand Bay, Alabama and Loretta Paterson’s Triompf. The pair turned in a four fault first round in a time of 77.655 seconds. Leann Kelly of Valatie, New York and Honorway Farm, LLC’s Leander were awarded sixth place after posting a four fault first round in a time of 78.047 seconds. Seventh went to Brooke Kemper of Culpeper, Virginia and her own Classified after posting a four fault first round in a time of 78.167 seconds. Hicks returned for eighth place, this time in the irons of Helen Gilbert’s Emir D after posting a four fault first round in a time of 79.504 seconds. Amanda Forte of Glenmoore, Pennsylvania earned ninth place with Cerulean Stables’ HHS Louis for their four fault first round in a time of 82.099 seconds. Hannah Donald of Highland Village, Texas and her own Commissario 6 finished in tenth place with a first round time of 83.870 seconds and four faults. Eleventh place went to Fleur De Lis Farms’ Ziezo, ridden by Scott Lenkart of Bartonville, Texas, and Hailey Henderson of Lafayette, Louisiana and her own Zine Dine wrapped up the class with twelfth place.

“I’ve had Lochinvar since he was five and have brought him up through the ranks. He’s twelve now and he won five grand prix last year. He got some good prizes before that, but last year was the first time he started winning. He has really settled in and matured,” commented Cyphert. “It’s nice to start off this year early with a win,” he added.

“I am proud to be a sponsored CWD rider, so it was really great to be able to win their Grand Prix today,” said Cyphert. “It is so much fun showing here in Gulfport,” he continued. “It is such a comfortable, fun environment and we’re all so supportive of each other,” he added.

“Bob and his staff do so much for all of us here and his shows are just run beautifully,” said Cyphert. “This is the best horse show in the country, and that’s God’s honest truth,” Cyphert said. “The crowd here was great today,” he continued, “I think a lot of people know my horse. They have seen him grow up and I had people come here last week who sought me out to see him. He is such a special horse that it makes me really happy to see people get excited for him and cheer him on,” he added.

Leave a comment

Penny Brennan and Japan.

The $7,770 Hester Equestrian Jumper Classic was held Saturday and welcomed twenty nine horse and rider teams to a course designed by Allen Rheinheimer, Gulf Coast Classic Course Designer and Technical Coordinator and Technical Coordinator for the 2015 World Cup Finals. The class is geared toward horses not competing in the grand prix.

Penny Brennan of Buhl, Alabama won the $10,000 Horseflight Open Welcome Friday afternoon with Sun Tzu and continued her Week III winning streak in the irons of her own Japan.

The first round time allowed was set at 89 seconds. Thomas Welsh of New York, New York and his own Prosper were the first to go clean in a time of 82.583 seconds. Although the pair turned in a second round in a time of 33.713 seconds, four faults would see them finish in tenth place.

Margaret Camp’s Charmeur, ridden by Holly Shepherd of Grand Bay, Alabama, was the next to turn in a clean first round in a time of 88.704 seconds, but their second round in a time of 34.125 seconds and four faults would have them finishing behind Welsh in eleventh place.

The next clean first round was Honorway Farm, LLC’s Undercover, ridden by Leann Kelly of Valatie, New York, posting a time of 82.928 seconds. Their clear second round in a time of 34.810 seconds took the lead and set the new time to beat.

Abby Maxwell of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and her own Kidogo followed Kelly with double clear rounds in times of 85.884 and 35.875 seconds, respectively, temporarily landing in second place.

Francois Lamontagne of Saint Eustache, Quebec, Canada and his own Vigo Massuere were the next pair to turn in double clear rounds and stole the lead from Kelly and Undercover after posting times of 87.092 and 31.136 seconds.

Quincy Z, owned by Molly Gist and ridden by Sarah Invicta Williams, turned in a clean first round effort in a time of 81.643 seconds, but four faults and a time of 32.681 seconds in their second round would see them finish in ninth place overall.

Riptide, owned by Christina Van Patten and ridden by Brooke Kemper of Culpeper, Virginia, went clear in their first round in a time of 79.606 seconds and followed with a clear second round in a time of 30.817 seconds, grabbing the lead from Lamontagne.

Kemper’s lead held until Brennan and Japan challenged it. Their clear first round in a time of 78.458 seconds and clear second round in a time of 29.936 seconds set the new time to beat and took the lead.

Shepherd and Dejan Krunic’s Belle Clara DKS gave Brennan and Japan a run for the money and posted double clear rounds in times of 89.756 and 30.363 seconds which moved them into second place behind Brennan.

Cathleen Driscoll of Elk Mills, Maryland and her own Forever Blue turned in the next clean first round in a time of 82.360 seconds, but twelve jump faults in a time of 31.739 second would find them finishing in twelfth place overall.

Hester Equestrian, LLC’s Katie Riddle, ridden by Lauren Hester of Lexington, Kentucky, turned in the next clear round in a time of 83.376 seconds. However, four faults in their second round in a time of 31.462 seconds, would see them finish in eighth place overall.

Kelly returned to the grand prix field, this time in the irons of Sarah Hunter’s Graf Joe, as the last to go and turned in double clear efforts in times of 84.960 seconds and 32.443 seconds, which would earn them the fifth place ribbon overall.

Final placings had Brennan and Japan the blue ribbon winners while Shepherd and Belle Clara DKS took second. Third went to Kemper and Riptide and fourth went to Lamontagne and Vigo Massuere.

Sun Tzu and Brennan Win the $10,000 Horseflight Open Welcome

Leave a comment

Penny Brennan and Sun Tzu.

The $10,000 Horseflight Open Welcome took place yesterday afternoon on the world class grass grand prix field and crowned Penny Brennan of Buhl, Alabama and her own Sun Tzu the winner in the class. Allen Rheinheimer of Zionsville, Indiana, Technical Coordinator for the 2015 World Cup Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada, designed the course.

Sun Tzu was the first horse to turn in a clean first round with a time of 92.864 seconds, just under the time allowed of 93 seconds. With two more to ride, Brennan opted to return later for her second round. Leann Kelly of Valatie, New York and Honorway Farm, LLC’s Leander followed Brennan with a clean first round in a time of 89.725 seconds. Although their second round time of 41.031 seconds beat the time allowed of 48 seconds, they incurred eight jump faults.

Chanel Du Calvaire, owned and ridden by Francois Lamontagne of Saint-Eustache, Quebec, Canada, followed with the next clean round in a time of 88.177 seconds and a second round in 46.387 seconds. With four jump faults, the pair would temporarily take the lead.

Holly Shepherd of Grand Bay, Alabama and Loretta Patterson’s Silverstone followed Lamontagne with a clear first round in a time of 92.487 seconds. The pair posted a clean second round in a time of 46.131 seconds, setting the new time to beat and temporarily taking the lead.

Brennan returned to the field, this time with her own Japan. The pair posted a clean first round in a time of 82.180 seconds. But four jump faults and fourteen time faults in their second round in a time of 61.621 seconds would inevitably place them in seventh place overall.

Lochinvar, owned and ridden by Matt Cyphert of Northlake, Texas, posted a clear first round in a time of 84.919 and advanced to the second round, going clear in a time of 41.797 seconds, taking the lead from Shepherd.

Shepherd returned to the ring, this time in the irons of Loretta Patterson’s Triompf, and went clear in a time of 90.281 seconds. They followed with a clear second round in a time of 44.219 seconds, which would not be fast enough to take the lead from Cyphert.

Brennan returned to the ring as the final ride in the irons of Sun Tzu. The pair went clean in a time of 41.031, taking the win and moving Cyphert and Lochinvar into second place.

Final results saw Shepherd taking the third and fourth place ribbons with Loretta Patterson’s Triompf and Silverstone, Lamontagne and Chanel Du Calvaire in fifth, Kelly and Leander in sixth and Brennan and Japan in seventh. The fastest of the four faulters, Scott Lenkart of Bartonville, Texas riding Allison Freeman’s Baloubrie, in a time of 87.196 seconds, placed eighth, followed by Amanda Forte of Glenmoore, Pennsylvania and Cerulean Stables’ HHS Louis in ninth place for their four fault first ride in a time of 89.572 seconds. Tenth place went to Brooke Kemper of Culpeper, Virginia and her own Classified, eleventh place awarded to Brennan and Cord II, owned by Meco Equestrian, LLC, and Happy Boy Van De Doornakkers, owned and ridden by Jordan Gilchrist of Flower Mound, Texas, wrapped up the class in twelfth place.

“It was a beautiful course,” commented Brennan. “It wasn’t enormous, but it was big and square and you needed to have respect for it,” she said. “The square options off of a 6.5 stride toward the in gate were difficult,” she added. “Everyone rode it in seven because the oxer was too big going out,” she continued. “You needed to put your air brakes on over the oxer in order to not grab that back rail,” she said.

“Sun Tzu was so fast today,” said Brennan. “That was a little bit of a tough jump off,” she said. “You had to stay with your horse and needed to have that little respect on the run to the in and out and not cowboy it,” she added.

“The Welcome really got all of us wondering what this Sunday’s CWD Grand Prix will be like,” she said.

Penny Brennan is originally from Nottingham, England and her father made his annual trek just last week to watch her ride in Gulfport. “He just left the other day and I really wanted to win one while he was here,” she said. “So I am dedicating this win to my Dad!” Brennan added. “I also want to thank my sponsors CWD and Finish Line Horse Products,” she said. “Finish Line products have done a lot for my horses and I’m very appreciative of their support,” she commented.

Leave a comment

Sarah Young pilots Beyond Time to the win in the $2,500 USHJA National Hunter Derby.

Week III of the Gulf Coast Winter Classic is underway! Perfect blue, sunny skies and pleasant temperatures were the backdrop to the $2,500 USHJA National Hunter Derby, presented by Tucci, that saw a field of twenty-seven horse and rider teams take to the hunt over a course designed by Tommy McIntyre of Batavia, Illinois.

Amanda Forte Pilots HHS Louis to First Grand Prix Win

Leave a comment

Amanda Forte and HHS Louis.

The Gulf Coast Winter Classic Week II $25,000 Nutrena Grand Prix, presented by Domino’s, took place Sunday afternoon at the Harrison County Fairgrounds. Olympic medalist and Pan American Course Designer, Michel Vaillancort of Tryon, North Carolina, challenged the twenty-three horse and rider teams over a course on the world class grass grand prix field in a time allowed of 82 seconds.

Only four advanced to the jump off round. The first to turn in a clean first round in 75.705 seconds, Matt Cyphert of Northlake, Texas and his own Lochinvar were the first to go in the jump off. The time allowed was 55 seconds and Cyphert sailed through it, fault free, in a time of 49.537 seconds and set the new time to beat.

Fellow Texan Scott Lenkart of Argyle and Fleur De Lis Farms’ Ziezo followed Cyphert in the jump-off order after posting a clean first round in a time of 74.114 seconds. They also went clear in the jump off round in a time of 46.531 seconds, temporarily taking the lead.

Suzanne Suttles of Flower Mound, Texas and her own Better Judgement followed Lenkart and posted a clear second round in a time of 46.862 seconds, moving Lenkart into third place.

Amanda Forte of Glenmoore, Pennsylvania and Cerulean Stables, LLC’s HHS Louis, second place winner in the Week I Foley RV Center Grand Prix, sat in the enviable last to go spot. “The CWD to the triple line and the Horseflight jump by the in-gate was tricky,” commented Forte. “Louie is just over 17.3 hands high and has a huge stride. We spent all last year working on balance and collecting, but his natural tendency is to be very open,” she said. “The double verticals rode really tight and that was the hardest part,” Forte commented. “I thought that was where we would have a problem, but my horse did it great!” she added. And great indeed! They finished clean in a time of 46.365 seconds, winning the class and adding Louie’s first grand prix win to his resume! Lenkart and Ziezo finished in second, Suttles and Better Judgement in third, and Cyphert and Lochinvar received fourth place honors.

Lauren Hester of Lexington, Kentucky and Hester Equestrian LLC’s Lorstakov finished in fifth as the fastest four-faulter in a first round time of 74.196 seconds. Hester also picked up sixth place with Hester Equestrian, LLC’s Arly after posting a four fault first round in a time of 74.396 seconds.

Shannon Hicks of Lake Saint Louis, Missouri and Helen Gilbert’s Emir D finished in seventh overall with a four fault first round in a time of 75.128 seconds. Eighth and ninth place were awarded to Holly Shepherd of Grand Bay, Alabama and Loretta Patterson’s Skymiles and Triompf, respectively, after posting four fault rounds in times of 75.927 seconds and 78.127 seconds. Tenth place went to Sarah Scheiring of Stockton, New Jersey and Molly Ben-Menachem’s Dontez for their four fault round in a time of 78.954 seconds. Eleventh was awarded to Quasi Modo H, owned by Daryl Nolen and ridden by Jennie Nolen, and Francois LaMontagne of Saint Eustache, Quebec, Canada and his own Chanel Du Calvaire wrapped up the class in twelfth place.

“Louie is part of the Quidam Junior line,” said Forte. “We bought Louie in Ireland where he was doing the 1.10m with a kid and have had him for just over a year,” said Forte. “This is his second year here in Gulfport and our fourth year showing here,” said Forte. “We love it here. I think primarily because we love Bob and his shows. But we have young horses and there is no better place than Gulfport to develop them and bring them along. It’s a wonderful opportunity and Gulfport has such a positive atmosphere,” said Forte. “There’s lots of space here, not much stress and a great grand prix field,” she added.

“I love Michel’s [Vaillancort] courses,” said Forte. “They are always really fun to ride,” she added. “I really liked the course he set because it flowed really nicely and the jumps were set pretty solid with lots of tests on the course,” she said. “The field here is really excellent and the weather has been perfect. It is so impressive to see the show management work on that grand prix field every afternoon and it’s been awesome to ride on,” she added.

Cerulean Stables has twelve horses in Gulfport and has had a successful circuit thus far! Forte also rode Rebecca Patterson’s horse Veccia Murano in his first Derby and earned a seventh place in the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby Week II. “We’re really excited about doing the big Derby in the field Week V,” commented Forte.

There are still a few stalls available as the Circuit heads into Week III. It’s not too late to experience the best winter circuit in the country! Email your stall requests to jonathan@classiccompany.com and go to horseshowsonline.com to enter for no additional fees.

Lochnivar and Cyphert Win the $10,000 Horseflight Open Welcome

Leave a comment

Matt Cyphert and Lochnivar.

Lenkart and Emilios Win the $7,770 Hester Equestrian Jumper Classic

The $10,000 Horseflight Open Welcome Week II of the Gulf Coast Winter Classic saw twenty-six horse and rider teams compete over a course designed by Olympic Medalist and Pan American Course Designer Michel Vaillancort of Tryon, North Carolina. The course was set on the world class grass grand prix field at the Harrison County Fairgrounds which is considered to be the one of the best in North America.

While a majority of the class went clean in their first rounds, the real challenge came with the abbreviated second round when only five of the twenty six would finish double clean.

The first round time allowed was set at 82 seconds. The first to go and the first to post a double clean effort was Francois LaMontagne of Saint Eustache, Quebec, Canada in the irons of his own Dalton. The pair finished a fault-free first round in a time of 81.376 seconds and finished their second round effort in a time of 40.956 seconds, well within the 47 seconds time allowed and set the new time to beat.

Holly Shepherd of Grand Bay, Alabama, who earlier in the day took the top three placings in the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby, transitioned into the jumper arena in the irons of Loretta Patterson’s Skymiles. The pair posted double clean rounds in times of 79.666 and 40.096 seconds, respectively, which would take the lead from Dalton and LaMontagne and set the new time to beat.

Specialized, owned by Missy Nolan and ridden by Tim Maddrix of Birmingham, Alabama, also posted double clean rounds in times of 78.029 and 38.751 seconds and took the lead from Skymiles and Shepherd.

Penny Brennan of Buhl, Alabama and Meco Equestrian, LLC’s Cord II followed Maddrix with double clear rounds in times of 76.322 and 38.162 seconds and set the new time to beat.

Helen Gilbert’s Emir D, ridden by Shannon Hicks of Lake St. Louis, Missouri, posted double clean rounds and looked to challenge Brennan and Cord II’s time, but the pair finished their second round in a time of 43.174 seconds which would see them finish in sixth place overall.

Matt Cyphert of Northlake, Texas and his own Lochinvar followed with the next double clean round in times of 76.139 and 36.999 seconds which would take the lead and set the new time to beat. But Tim Maddrix had yet to go so the win was not one for the books quite yet.

Maddrix returned in the enviable last to go position in the irons of Baily Martin’s Contador De Bornival Z, but eight jump faults and one time fault would keep the pair out of the ribbons and secure the win for Cyphert and Lochinvar.

Brennan and Cord II took second place, Maddrix and Specialized were awarded third, Skymiles and Shepherd received fourth, LaMontagne and Dalton were fifth, and sixth place went to Emir D and Hicks. Chanel du Calvaire and LaMontagne finished in seventh place as the fastest of the four-faulters in a time of 38.947 seconds, while eighth place was awarded to Bull Run’s T-Mac, owned and ridden by Konstanze Wachholtz, who posted a four fault second round in a time of 41.627 seconds. Ninth place went to Hester and Lorstakov; tenth was awarded to Hannah Donald of Highland Village, Texas and her own Commissario 6. Wender and Hester took eleventh place, while Hicks wrapped it up with twelfth place in the irons of Helen Gilbert’s Caritz Donz.

One third of the class had the opportunity to advance to the second round, but only two went double clean. Lauren Hester and Hester Equestrian’s Daister L posted double clear round in times of 77.941 and 40.128 seconds, respectively. The pair looked to win the Jumper Classic until last to go Scott Lenkart of Argyle, Texas and La Primera Hacienda’s Emilios posted double clear rounds in times of 73.844 and 38.209 seconds, respectively, taking the lead and putting Hester and Daister L in second place overall.

The fastest of the four faulters, Baritone 40, owned and ridden by Isabelle Potts of Aledo, Texas, posted a fault free first round in a time of 81.761 seconds and a four fault second round in time of 42.393 seconds. Fourth place was awarded to Loretta Patterson’s Silverstone, ridden by Holly Shepherd, who finished their clean first round in a time of 82.082 seconds and their four fault second round in a time of 49.319 seconds.

Thomas Welsh of New York, New York, in the irons of his own Prosper, placed fifth overall; sixth was awarded to Abby Maxwell of Cedar Rapids, Iowa in the irons of her own Kidogo. Lenkart returned for seventh place, this time aboard Fleur De Lis Farm’s Valina Du Cuirassier, and Welsh returned for the eighth place ribbon, this time in the irons of his own Newtown Jumping Jack. Jason Berry of Verona, Virginia and Willoughby Stables’ Varios placed ninth overall, and Francois LaMontagne was awarded tenth place in the irons of his own Vigo Massuere. Cerulean Stables’ Downton Abbey, ridden by Amanda Forte of Glenmoore, Pennsylvania, placed eleventh overall, and Shepherd, riding Dejan Krunic’s Belle Clara DKS, wrapped up the class in twelfth place.

Kemper and Riptide Win the $7,770 Hester Equestrian Jumper Classic Week I

Leave a comment

Brooke Kemper and Riptide.

Riptide, owned by Christina Van Patten and ridden by Brooke Kemper of Culpeper, Virginia, won the $7,770 Hester Equestrian, LLC Jumper Classic yesterday afternoon under sunny skies at the Gulf Coast Winter Classic.

The 1.25 m Jumper Classic is open to all horses not competing in the grand prix which is a perfect opportunity for horses and riders to gain valuable mileage on a world class grass grand prix field. Course designer Nancy Wallis of Lambertville, New Jersey set the first round time allowed at 79 seconds.

Fifteen horse and rider teams took to the course. Jordan Gilchrist, of Flower Mound, Texas, in the irons of Isabelle Potts’ Bariton 40 was the first to turn in double clear rounds in times of 75.215 and 39.367 seconds, respectively, which held the lead until Brooke Kemper and Riptide turned in double clear rounds in 72.487 and 33.119 seconds, taking the lead.

Lauren Hester was the next double clear in the irons of Hester Equestrian, LLC’s Daister L. With times of 70.850 and 36.313 seconds, the pair would finish in fourth place overall.

Thomas Welsh of New York, New York and his own Newtown Jumping Jack, looked to move Kemper from the lead position, but after posting double clear rounds in times of 74.250 seconds and 34.765 seconds, would find themselves finishing in third place overall.

Amanda Forte of Glenmoore, Pennsylvania followed Welsh in the irons of C’or Equestrian’s MHS Automatic, but despite their double clear rounds in times of 73.213 and 33.910 seconds, their time was not fast enough to beat Kemper and they would finish in second place overall.

Sitting in the enviable last to go position, Sarah Scheiring of Stockton, New Jersey and Lauren Gristwood’s Eros SCF posted double clear rounds in times of 78.046 seconds and 36.352 seconds, respectively, which would see them finish in fifth place overall, leaving Kemper and Riptide in the first place position.

“[Riptide]’s careful, fast and competitive,” commented Kemper. “I know every time I walk in the ring on Riptide, she’ll try to win,” she added. “She’s a 10 year old Dutch bred that I ride for Christina Van Patten and she is here to be sold,” she said. “I’m sure she will make someone a great mount. She is a great Jr/Amateur horse and has a sweet disposition,” she said. Those interested should contact Brooke Kemper at the Gulf Coast Winter Classic.

“I think the $7,770 Hester Equestrian Jumper Classic is a great opportunity for younger horses coming up and it’s a nice step between the open classes and the Welcome class. It’s a nice inviting class for them to jump,” commented Kemper. “The grand prix field is in great shape and all of our horses are jumping well on it,” she added.

“We’ve had a great week here,” said Kemper. “Everyone who has shown has done well and the weather has been great. We’re excited for the rest of the Circuit,” she said. Kemper has 11 horses here at the Gulf Coast Winter Circuit this year.
