Woodstock Eventing Wins at the Horse Park of New Jersey Horse Trials II

Ben Nevis

Ryan and Team Woodstock Eventing are back from their winning weekend at the Horse Park of New Jersey. Ryan rode 7 horses from Novice through Intermediate, took home 3 first place finishes, and 4 top ten finishes. Each horse continues to improve and Ryan was thrilled with each of their performances.

Woodstock Eventing horses were unbeatable in the Open Novice divisions. Ryan took home the blue riding Ilona S. English’s full brothers Ben Nevis and Ben Lomond. Both horses led the Open Novice A & B divisions from start to finish. Ben Nevis delivered a beautiful dressage test to earn a 28.3 and Ben Lomond scored an impressive 24.5. They both jumped double clear to take home the blue in their respective divisions. Julia Strawbridge’s The Optimist was also unbeatable in the Modified A division. The Optimist delivered a score of 28 in dressage and followed it up with two double clear jumping rounds to take the win!

In Open Intermediate B, Chusin scored a 40.5 in dressage, had one rail down in show jumping, and jumped boldly around cross country to finish 8th.
