Going into today’s show jumping phase at the Millbrook Horse Trials, Meghan O’Donoghue and her 18-year-old Thoroughbred gelding Palm Crescent could afford to have one rail down and still claim first place in the Advanced division. They left all the rails up and cantered across the finish line in the time allowed to clinch the win.
Time was the biggest factor on the Advanced division cross-country phase today at the Millbrook Horse Trials. Meghan O’Donoghue, Round Hill, Virginia and her 18-year-old Thoroughbred gelding Palm Crescent had the fastest round of the day to add 6 time penalties and move into the lead (35.3).
