Following our fantastic weekend at AHJA Kick Off, we set back off to Chatt Hills with a whole new set of riders for the Elite Show Jumping “AA” Show. The second week at Chatt Hills brought just as much success as the first.

The week started off with many great ribbons for Jen Hauser and Dani Moraski. Jen rode Hagen Blackwell’s Vegas De Gravelotte to double wins and reserve champion in the Performance Hunters. She was right behind with Romney Velazquez’s A Timely Affair and Mimi Colette Frei’s At Last with seconds in the division as well. Dani and Julia McAdam’s Cinsational won two over fences in the open hunters receiving champion for the division. Other highlights in the division were Dani and Julia King’s C Beyond were 2nd, Jen and Hannah Bank’s Corrado were 3rd, and Dani and Annie LaRussa’s Escalido were 7th in two classes. The low division had over 30 entries. Jen and Clayton Mullis’s Tower Lux took on the jumper ring during the week winning a class in the 1.20’s.

Finishing up our weekday showing was the $2,500 National Hunter Derby. Of our riders, Jen and Romney Velazquez’s A Timely Affair finished 3rd. Dani and Julia McAdam’s Cinsational finished 4th. Keri Rankin and Odessa finished 5th. Dani and Sydney Velazquez’s Caredan Z finished 8th. Campbell Swanner and Eclips V finished 9th.
