Hunter/Jumper portion concludes; dressage & polo next
More incredible crowds at Flintfields Horse Park witnessed Kyle King and Riptide capture Saturday's $30,000 D-BRAIDER Cherry Capital Classic Grand Prix. King and Riptide, owned by Alison Friedman, topped a field of 16 to earn top honors in the class, which was held in the Grand Prix Ring.
Saturday's grand prix class was the conclusion of open jumper competition at this year's Horse Shows by the Bay Equestrian Festival. The class was sponsored by D-BRAIDER and Karin Flint of Wellington, FL, and 16 entries showed over the challenging track set by course designer Michel Vaillancourt of Aiken, SC.
Dressage and polo action will be featured for the fourth and final week at Flintfields Horse Park beginning Wednesday, July 29, and will run through Sunday, August 2.
