Junior Jumpers Take the Stage$15,000 Neue Schule / USEF Prix de States Team Championship

and Individual ChampionshipsTonight’s main event features some of the rising stars in the jumper division. Junior jump-ers from across the country will compete for their respective zones in an effort to claim that coveted top spot on the podium. Seven zones out of the ten USEF National Zones will be represented. This competition will be run under a modified Nation’s Cup format. First, each team will jump one round. The highest score of each team will be dropped to obtain a cumulative team score. The six teams with the least number of cumulative faults will go on to jump a second team round. Teams will return in reverse order of the first round total team scores. The winning team is determined by adding together the jumping and time penalties incurred by the best three competitors of each team in each round. At the completion of the second round if teams are tied for any medal, there will be a jump-off in which ONE competitor, determined by the Zone Chef d’Equipe, will participate. All riders have the opportunity to compete in both rounds for an individual score regardless of team standings. Individuals will compete first in both rounds.

Daisy Farish Celebrates Birthday With Win in the Individual Phase I of the Neue Schule/USEF National Junior Jumper Championship

Daisy Farish had the best birthday ever! The new-ly turned 17-year-old resident of Versailles, KY captured the win in the Individual Phase I of the Neue Schule/USEF National Junior Jumper Cham-pionship. Riding Alberto II, owned by Stone Ridge Farms, LLC, Farish saved ground at a fast clip to finish with 53.070 seconds in the faults converted into seconds one round speed competition.

“This was definitely a good birthday!” beamed Far-ish. “My plan was to have a quick, clear round to help me later in the week and just to start off strong. It was a bonus to win the class. It was really great!”

Alexandra Pielet, 15, of Highland Park, Ill. set the mark early going clear in a time of 56.638 on 10-year-old Helene VE, owned by Co-Pielet, LLC, which held up until Farish entered the arena. However, more than half the field of 29 entries were yet to go and Farish was not sure her time would be fast enough. “There were a lot of opportunities to save time on the turns,” said Farish of the Steve Ste-phens-designed course. “I wasn’t sure if my time would hold up. I knew I was pretty fast, but I wasn’t sure how fast until I saw some of the top riders go and I still had them by a second or two. I was holding my breath thinking that they had the potential to top me. But I was glad it held up.”

Farish had to hold her breath right up until the end. Final rider Hannah Loly, 15, of Ran-cho Santa Fe, Calif. was a bit of a threat on Ayma De La Demi Lune, going clear in 57.604 seconds for third place.

“I would say that this is one of the biggest results that I have had,” said Farish. “I never captured one of these championships and I am really happy with it.”

Farish will be competing on the team from Zone 5 in the second phase of the competition, the Neue Schule/USEF Prix de States Team Championship based on a modified Nations Cup format. Each team member jumps two rounds with the best three scores counting for the team total. The team with the lowest score is declared the winner.

“I think my team is really strong this year and we have a good shot at winning,” said Farish. “I’m really excited.”
