The final weekend of the West Palms Events’ show season proved to be an entertaining and memorable one, with fundraisers and educational opportunities, and special classes!

First up was Mandy Porter and Coral Reef Follow Me II, who have had a very successful two weeks here at the Central California Horse Show Series, including the win in the CWD Wine Country Grand Prix last Saturday. They marched in and dominated the course with a clean round to set the pace and tone of the class.
Marc Grock and Caretol were up two rounds later and put up a clean round to challenge Porter to a jump off. The third and final clean round in the first round was Lindsay Archer and Camerone, who had won two grand prix here at the Horse Park, the LA Saddlery Grand Prix in the Spring and the Oak Tree Grand Prix last year in the Fall.

Headed into the jump off, Porter and Coral Reef Follow Me II were successful in their round, with a clean course and a time of 44.347. Grock and Caretol came in second and had another clean round, but not quite as fast as Porter, with a time of 46.158, to take over second place.
Archer and Camerone headed in, taking over the course with a speedy pace and a tight track to take the win, almost four seconds ahead of Porter, a time of 40.689! Archer not only took her third win here at the Horse Park, but was also awarded the Jill Weaver Memorial Trophy, a very special trophy for Linda Starkman, the Horse Park, and all who knew Jill.
“I am so thrilled to have won my first Grand Prix at Paso here last year, and continue the winning streak here today,” said Archer. “We are three for four here and I can’t wait to come back next year!”
Congratulations to our competitors on a spectacular class!

The competitors and spectators learned about UC Davis, were able to ask questions to professionals and even received a gift for filling out a questionnaire! Thank you so much to UC Davis and Magnolia Farms for a wonderful event and providing everyone with an educational afternoon.
The USHJA International Hunter Derby Presented by San Marcos Training had 21 starters, including impressive riders such as John French, Nicole Bourgeois, Philip Cillis, and many others.
