By Inavale Farm - Press Release

The inaugural Inavale Farm Horse Trials and Training 3-Day event (sponsored by Smart Pak and Gallops Saddlery) began with a large turnout of 29 competitors.

Friday's trot-up was held under sunny skies, all 29 horses were beautifully presented and passed with flying colors as observed by Jim Graham, Ground Jury President, Roger Haller, Technical Delegate, and Dr.Ann Weston, veterinary delegate.

Dressage was judged by Jim Graham, who spent extra time providing comments on the riders' tests, and the day finished up with Maxance McManamy and Project Runway in first place with a dressage score of 22.

Tied for 2nd heading into Saturday are Karyn Rainey on She's All Silk and Therese Russell on Dante. Coaches Amy Tryon, Julie Hook, John Camlin, and Judy Klus provided course walks and demonstrations, and riders were able to practice their steeplechase track on Friday in preparation for Saturday's endurance phase.

Also, on another note - the Chronicle of the Horse/USEA Adult Team Challenge (Western division) was held this weekend at the event as well. Check out the complete line-up of four Preliminary teams, five Training teams, five Novice teams, and one Beginner Novice team on the live scores (teams are listed at the bottom).

A year ago, Ingham and “Banzai” led the field heading into cross-country after Friday’s dressage, but they drew an earlier start this year, and Ingham’s got a few more challengers to come tomorrow.
