Great Meadow Win

Chiara Parlagreco and Chacca Blue earn blue during the Great Meadow Twilight Jumper Event.

Chiara Parlagreco and Belle Grey Farm LLC’s Chacca Blue stole the show on Friday night, August 31, during the Twilight Jumper Competition at Great Meadow in The Plains, Virginia. Their clean and fast jump-off performance couldn’t be matched, and they earned the lion’s share of the $500 purse in the Children’s/Adult Jumper classic.

This was the pair’s second major victory of the week, as they also topped the $1,500 NAL/WIHS/M&S/ Children’s Adult Jumper Classic at the Swan Lake Finale in Littlestown, Pennsylvania on August 26. Way to go!

Adela, Lucy, Karla and Denice enjoyed the evening at Twilight Jumpers!
