Ken Krome designed a difficult course for the $50,000 Henri De Rivel Tryon Duke Jump for the Children Grand Prix, with six riders qualifying for the jump off and only two teams going double clear. The fastest of those two was Richie Moloney (Wellington, FL) on Ermes Di Tai (Canturano x Vittoria Di Tai). It was Taylor Land (Atlanta, GA) and Kim Land’s 2009 Holsteiner gelding Caballero (Casall x Ricarda I) who secured second place with the only other clear round in the speed round. Fernando Cardenas Sr’s 2015 Warmblood gelding Fano Car (Dianant D’heure ABF x Ursula Car) and Fernando Cardenas (New Hill, NC) were the fastest of the jump off four faulters and completed the class podium.

The 2014 Selle Français gelding with Richie Moloney in the saddle produced the fastest round for the win, as the third to last in the order of go. Moloney was confident after their first round. “The first round was good; my horse jumped very well! He’s [Ermes Di Tai] in a good place at the moment and feeling very comfortable.”

However, getting ready for the speed round, they encountered a small setback, but it did not affect their overall strategy. “I pulled a shoe in the warmup, so I had to do an extra few jumps more than I wanted,” Moloney detailed.

Moloney and his team are frequent flyers at Tryon International. “It’s a lovely show to do, and good fun!” New to the Duke Shows, being hosted for the first time at Tryon International, he enjoyed his week.

Bean (JLA Sir William x Penny’s Bonnet). Katie McDaniel’s 2013 Welsh Pony gelding Tristan (Fox Cry Whinny the Pooh x Rosmel’s Jazzy Jolene) with Emily Norman (New Bern, NC) in the saddle produced a 164-point performance for third place.

Emilia West and her 2018 Welsh Pony Cross mare went out on a high note together, as this was their last time in the show ring as a team. “This is our last show together. She’s [Cherrybrook Bella Vita] a very honest pony and doesn’t do anything bad. She loves the derbies!”

West noted their strength during the handy round, where they scored an 87. “I was making sure I was keeping a good pace going to the jumps!”

Enjoying her time at Tryon International, West concluded, “I really like Tryon; it’s been a really good week!”
