Millbrook Horse Trials





This weekend Jennifer and her horse Emma otherwise known as "Imagine That" competed in a 3-day event, Millbrook Horse Trials, in Millbrook, New York. On Friday, in a light drizzle she completed the Dressage portion tied for 4th with a score of 34.5. Saturday started late because of all the mud from Friday's rainfall, but she eventually finished a clean round of the Cross Country course but failed to meet the timeframe and received 8.1 points in time penalties, but even so she still moved into sole ownership of 3rd place. This morning she completed the Stadium Jumping portion and dropped two rails adding 8 penalty points to her score and dropping her to 5th overall. She competed in the Preliminary division, a level she has only competed at a couple of times previously. The winner is the person with the lowest accumulatice score at the end of the three events.
