With a class of 34 entries and only seven competitors moving forward to the the jump-off, Corrigan and Loughnavatta Indigo rose to the top of the leaderboard. "I have a tendency to go a little bit too fast in the jump-off, so today I tried to be a little smoother and tighter and not pull on the reins or kick as much and it worked," the Irishman remarked.
Corrigan bought the nine-year old gelding last autumn. "I jumped him here in the 2* last year and that was his first night class. He was little green, but he jumped clear. Since then, he's improved a lot, and even jumped his first 5* a couple of weeks ago."
Detailing his nine-year old mount, Corrigan continued, "He's a good horse. He's got a lot of personality, more personality than any other horse I've had. He might look plain, but he's very sensitive and a very good boy. We might do the 3* next week or we will wait and do the 5* the week after that."

"It's a great atmosphere here because everybody comes out, horse people and non-horse people alike. The crowd really focuses on you and people come to spectate and have a good time," concluded Corrigan.
The Tryon Fall Series presented by Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport continues through October 28 featuring international and national hunter, jumper and equitation competition. For more information, please visit www.Tryon.com.
