- June 10, 2008 - Last week at the Upperville Colt and Horse Show in Upperville, VA, Katherine
Newman continued her winning ways with Almelo
in the Paul & Eve Go As You Please Handy Hunter class. Two weeks prior, the
pair scored a major win at the Devon Horse Show in the $10,000 ASG Software
USHJA International Hunter Derby in Devon,
PA. Seventeen-year-old Newman
piloted Almelo
for Mimi Abel-Smith, who shows the horse in the older Amateur-Owner Hunters.
Abel-Smith resides in Middleburg,
VA.
"We had to make up our own handy hunter course," said Neman. "It was a lot of fun. Almelo was fantastic, and we won with a
score
of 87."
Newman grew up in the Upperville area and relocated to Wellington, FL,
two years ago. She trains with her parents, Kathy and Gerry, and lives at her
family's farm, Allwyn Court.
The young rider also showed Paris Sellon's horse Cool Blue in the Small Junior
16-17 Hunters. "It was my first show with Cool Blue, and he had scores of 86
and 88 over fences," smiled Newman. "He was also fourth in the hack, and we won
the reserve championship."
Allwyn Court's Chellapo Z earned another blue ribbon with Todd
Minikus of Loxahatchee, FL. The duo was double clear and won the 7/8 Year Old Jumper
class on Friday, June 6. Corvet Z and Castleton, who were horses trained and
sold by Allwyn Court,
received top ribbons as well. Corvet Z, owned by Manhattan Mortgage and ridden
by Samantha Schaefer, took champion in the Small Junior 15 and Under Hunter
division. Castleton, owned and ridden by Zack Parks, won the top tricolor in
the Amateur-Owner 18-35 Hunters.
Katherine Newman and the horses at Allwyn
Court will compete next in Lexington, Kentucky,
at the Country Heir Horse Shows. Photograph may be used only in relation to this
