Show
Jumping and Final Results
Sunday, March 21st
What a treat it was to be at the Southern Pines Horse Trials! The forsythia was
in bloom and the daffodils ditto. The weather was fabulous for the first two days
and adequate, though cloudy, on Sunday.
The competition was tight at the
top in the A Section. Kim Severson and 
Tipperary
Liadhnan had a fence in hand going into Show Jumping and that became two fences
in hand when Becky Holder and Courageous Comet had one rail down in the stadium.
Even two rails in hand was not sufficient as Tipperary Liadhnan managed to dislodge
three of the colored poles to drop to second, having led through both Dressage
and Cross Country. (That's why it's called a " Three Day Event"!)
(Becky
and Courageous Comet are pictured at the right.)
Had either Phillip
Dutton with Woodburn or Allison Springer on Arthur Show Jumped double clear they
could have won; but, each has one rail down relegating them to third and fourth
places.
It
was not until eventual fifth place finisher Holly (Hepp) Hudspeth and Last Monarch
that a double clear show jumping was chalked up.

Section B:
The
story was quite different in Section B. The top five competitors all jumped double
clears. Perhaps something was learned from the problems incurred by those in the
first section - or maybe Pawlow, Belmont II, The Foreman, Kheops du Quesnay and
Shared Option are just better show jumpers.

Will Faudree, Pawlow - 34.60 (DCSJ)

and Pawlow are pictured at the right on the Cross Country.)
