Annville, PA-October 3, 2008-In the competition for top positions and places in the 2008 North American League (NAL) six top riders emerge division winners. All six were invited to compete at the NAL Finals held at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show, October 9 - 18.

The NAL runs season-long series in six hunter-jumper divisions - Adult Hunter, presented by Practical Horseman, Children's Hunter, Open Jumper Speed, Adult Jumper, Children's Jumper and Pony Jumper. All horses competing in the NAL finals earn U.S. Equestrian Federation Horse-of-the-Year points. The NAL qualifying period started September 1, 2007 and ended August 31, 2008. While riders did not need to be members of the NAL to compete in any qualifying classes, only current members earned points toward year-end finals.

In the NAL Adult Hunter division, presented by Practical Horseman, Mindy Wurzburg of Memphis, TN, and Overseas won with 4,458 points. In second with 3,929 points was Katie Meagher of Virginia Beach, VA, piloting Keep The Faith. Following Meagher in third place with 3,188 points was Cheryl Rubenstein of Memphis, TN, aboard Riesling. With 6,117.5 points, Kelsey Jefferies of Catlett, VA, and Protocol won the Children's Hunter division. David Oberkircher of Ft.Washington, PA, and Loretta followed in the standings with 4,778 points. With 3,582 points, Megan Brodbeck of Spring Grove, PA, finished in third with her mount, A Bit of Gold.

In the jumper divisions, the battle for top spots in the Open Speed division really heated up with many of this country's top horses competing for the right to ride in the NAL Finals. Finishing on top with 9,160 points was Laura Chapot of Neshanic Station, NJ. In second was Hillary Dobbs of Sussex, NJ, with 8,455 points. In third with 6,135 points was Olympic veteran Margie Engle. Points in the Open Speed division are awarded for riders only, based on their best finish in a class regardless of the horse on which the finish was obtained.

Emily Straw-Colella of Alpharetta, GA, rode Filibuster to win Adult Jumper division with 5,266 points. Following in second place with 4,689 points was Katherine Edgell of Mendham, NJ, and Miss Kitty and in third were Hayley Carlson of Allentown, NJ, and T Naralda with 3,592 points.

Topping the Children's Jumper division standings were Hayley Waters of Sparr, FL, and Rocky, who had 5,877 points. Waters also finished in second place with a total of 5,398 points with Houston. Rounding out the top three was Claudia Billups of Gulfport, MS, with 5,292 points riding Gustav.

In the Pony Jumper division, Elizabeth Solomon of Huntingdon Valley, PA, and Hip-Hop sat atop the standings with 527 points. Abbie Ross of Wheaton, IL, finished second aboard TNT with 460 points. Carter Ware of Middleburg, VA, was in second with 392 points aboard Tequila.
