Woodstock Eventing's Weekend at Radnor Hunt Horse Trials

Following a busy weekend competing in New York City and at Flora Lea, Ryan traveled to Malvern, Pennsylvania to compete six horses at the Radnor Hunt Horse Trials. 

 

Woodstock Eventing horses took home three of the Top 5 spots in the Open Preliminary division. Get Ready Get Set, owned by Liz Bond, led after dressage by an impressive 8.5 points on a score of 25.2. He picked up a few time penalties to finish in 2nd place. Steve and Karri Guy's Lost in Ireland impressed in just his second competition at the level, scoring a 37.6 in dressage and adding only a single rail to his score to finish his second Preliminary level competition in 3rd place. Shannondale Joss, owned by Anna Hasselquist, performed a solid dressage test to score a 35.7 and finished in 4th place.

In the Open Training division, Ryan rode Cheryl Gamboney's Gambado to a 6th place finish with a dressage score of 29.8.  In the Training Horse division, Ryan rode Summit Sporthorses' Ben Nevis and Mary Hazzard's Chusinmyconfession. Ben Nevis delivered a consistent dressage test to score a 22.7 and finished 2nd. Chusinmyconfession also finished the competition on her dressage score of 33.0 in 8th place.
