1791.0. "Adult/Junior results" by MTADMS::DOUGLAS () Mon Aug 23 1993 09:44

    Did anyone else go to the Attitash Equine Festival last week?
    I went Sunday and the rides were impressive!
    
    Here are the results as best as I could remember:
    
    Our own Kate Choppe of Mass., rode 2 horses in the $5000
    Hall of fame Amateur-Owner Jumping Classic. She had a knock 
    down on the LAST jump on Come Back, and a Knock down on 
    jump 4 on Hearsay. But her rides were right up there with 
    the competition. Only 17 out of 35 riders went clean the
    first round.
    
    There were 18 riders in the $5000 American Express Adult 
    Amateur Jumper class. Number 1 fell at fence two for an
    elimination. Rider 2 forgot the last three fences and had 
    a major time penalty by the time she realized the error.
    Rider 3 took a NASTY fall at fence three and had to lay 
    there for a moment to catch his breath. The horse refused
    the jump at the last moment and crashed through it. The 
    rider landed on the horse's neck and seemed to recover until
    the horse decided to do a little piroette (sp). I think only
    6 out of 18 riders went clear on the first round.
    
    Can someone explain why the ADULT fences were LOWER than
    the JUNIOR fences ???

    Highlites:
    
    Hanovarians seem to be the horse of choice this year.
    
    Peter Leone rode 3's & 7's, a QUARTER HORSE to tenth place.
    Watch out jumping world, the American horses are breaking
    through! When will we see Appy's and Paints?
    
    Mark Leone rode a Hanovarian stallion who "bucked" the whole 
    course both rounds! He bucked after each jump, like he was trying
    to kick the fences after the jump. Or he was saying "look at me
    I am cool!". It was a riot!
    
    Margie Goldstein scratched Daydream after knocking several fences.
    Don't know if the horse was lame, or if she realized at that point
    there was no way this horse would make the second round.
    
    Hugh Much scratched S&L Ballet after practically crashing through 
    the triple and several other fences. Horse seemed very tired.
    
    Buddy Brown rode Charlebois, an 18 year old TB to fifth place.
    Goes to show you that the older horses can still compete!
    
    Alberto Carmona came all the way from Venezuela (sp) to compete!
    
    Margie Goldstein looked like she was going to clean up the joint
    on La Costa. Her horse was running fast and furious. The crowd
    was screaming with anticipation! He had alot of zip, but too bad 
    she pooped out! They swung too wide at fence 5 (out of 7) in the 
    second round. She could not recover and the horse crashed through 
    the fence. 
    
    Between first and second rounds, Margie had 5 horses to ride. 
    She was on her eigth ride at this point and I think she was just 
    simply tired. With 5 horses, who wouldn't be! But although she is 
    my favorite, I was disappointed that she took on much more than
    she looked physically capable of. She is only 5'2" and under 
    130lbs I would guess, and although there is no question that she
    can handle these horses, when is it too much?
