Lysa Burke Hutton’s Voila, ridden by Minnie Burke and Chiara Parlagreco, began the week with the reserve championship in a huge USHJA 3’ Hunter section. Viola placed first over fences and third under saddle for the tricolor. Minnie also showed Viola to excellent ribbons later in the week, with second in the Children’s Hunter, 14 and under, under saddle and fourth in the Modified Children’s Hunter under saddle.

Denice Perry’s Ollivander continued to show his winning form with championship results in the Schooling Pony Hunters with Eddyn Molden riding. The pair won two over fences classes and also earned good ribbons in the USHJA 2’ Hunters.

Eleanor Green and her Jus D’O won the VHSA Children’s Medal and also earned a variety of ribbons in the Children’s Hunters for a great show.
