“Honestly, he’s still a little green in the hunters even though he’s 10,” Crolick added. “But each day gets better and better. He was imported in October of last year and was doing the jumpers. He was imported to be a jumper here, but you could tell by watching him he’s not a jumper.” Crolick returned for the second round of the WCHR Developing Pro Challenge as the class leader, and he didn’t let the pressure affect his performance, scoring a two-round total of 176 points for the win. Jamie Taylor finished second with Cipriani (175.66), and Taylor Ann Adams guided Taken to third with 174.99 points. “My thought process tonight was to try and stay relaxed,” said Crolick. “Again, it was my first time doing the class and his first nighttime class. You didn’t know what to expect, so I tried to stay relaxed and keep the focus. I have a tendency to get aggressive when I’m in there, like a handy derby. So in this type of classical hunter round you needed to be a little quieter and be a little more subdued, like the classic hunter style.” The outcome of the class also determined the WCHR Developing Pro National Champion, with Adams clinching the title over Tayor by 14 points. “This year it was weird to be qualified as a Developing Professional because I’m 41 and have been doing this a while,” continued Crolick. “But I met all of the qualifications, and, hopefully, next year I’ll be in the Professional Challenge.” Crolick’s fall indoor season will also be memorable for a more personal reason: He and his wife Jessica are expecting their second child on Oct. 20. “And, of course, the baby will come right on time, and then it will be on to the National Horse Show,” he said with laugh. Final Results: $5,000 WCHR Developing Pro Challenge
