O’Hanlon and Foxwood High Take Home the Win in the Red Hills International CCI4*-S

The Red Hills International Horse Trials hosted the first CCI4*-S of the year this weekend at Elinor Klapp Phipps Park in Tallahassee, Florida. Twenty-five horses set out to claim the title in the CCI4*-S, but it was Selena O'Hanlon and Foxwood High that took home the win.

O’Hanlon and Foxwood High (Rio Bronco W x Evita II), John and Judy Rumble’s 16-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding, rose to the top in the CCI4*-S after riding clean across the country and adding a single rail to their dressage score of 26.8 on the final day of competition.

Clayton Fredericks and FE Ophelia (Ocordo x Argentina) scored a 30.5 in dressage, good enough for sixth place headed into Saturday’s cross-country competition. After clocking around with just 8.4 time penalties, Fredericks and Diana Crawford and Hugh Wrigley’s 12-year-old Zweibrucker mare moved into fifth place after cross-country, finally finishing in second place after jumping double clear on the final day.

Jessica Phoenix and her own 17-year-old Westfalian gelding Pavarotti (Pavarotti van de Helle x Fidelia) sat in fifth place after dressage on a score of 28.5 and moved up to round out the top three after picking up 14.8 time penalties on cross-country and just one second of time in show jumping.

Phoenix and Bentley's Best (Hirtentanz 2 x Hauptstutbuch Baronesse XIII), The Bentley's Best Group's 12-year-old Trakehner gelding, walked away with the win in the CCI3*-S division, leading the division from wire to wire and adding a single rail in show jumping to finish on a score of 29.0.

Lynn Symansky and Global Cassero 3 (Conteur x Wahida), Katherine Coleman’s 8-year-old Hanoverian gelding, led the CCI2*-S division from pillar to post on their dressage score of 25.2.

Martin Packs a One-Two Punch in the Advanced

Boyd Martin claimed first and second place in the Advanced division at Red Hills International aboard Christine Turner’s Kyra and the Long Island T Syndicate’s Long Island T with Elizabeth Halliday-Sharp and The Monster Partnership’s Cooley Quicksilver rounding out the top three.

Martin and Kyra (VDL Ulando H x Wellesley), a 12-year-old Canadian Warmblood mare, scored a 27.8 in dressage, good enough for second place following the first phase of competition. They moved into the lead after incurring just 4.4 time penalties on cross-country and added no penalties on the final day to finish in first place on a final score of 32.2.

Martin and Kyra’s stablemate Long Island T (Ludwig von Bayern x Haupstsbuch Highlight), a 13-year-old Oldenburg/Thoroughbred gelding, led the division after dressage on a 25.5 but 12.8 time penalties on cross-country and a clear show jumping round ultimately dropped them to second place.

Halliday-Sharp and Cooley Quicksilver (Womanizer x Kylemore Crystal), an 8-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding, quietly stalked the leaders, moving up from eighth place after dressage on a score of 36.4 to fifth place after cross-country, adding 6.4 time penalties to their score, and finally jumping clear on the final day to take home third place.
