Upper Marlboro, MD – September 28, 2014 – The Capital Challenge Horse Show held three major equitation finals on Sunday of Equitation Weekend, presented by Bigeq.com.  Victoria Colvin, riding Clearway, repeated victory in the Private Tutoring Services North American Junior Equitation Championships. In the Taylor Harris Insurance Services (THIS) National Children's Medal Finals, Hayley Iannotti riding Quasa Granda was victorious. Eleanor Hellman and Nigel took the win in the North American Adult Amateur Equitation Championships. Hunter competition begins on Monday, September 29, at the Capital Challenge Horse Show and continues through Sunday, October 5.

There were 79 entries in the Private Tutoring Services North American Junior Equitation Championships, and riders contested a course set by Kenneth Krome. There were five judges for the day's finals: Jeff Ayers, Linda Andrisani, Scott Fitton, Mark Jungherr, and Scott Williamson. In the first round, Colvin and Clearway, a nine-year-old Warmblood gelding by Cheenook owned by Dr. Betsee Parker, went straight to the top with a score of 90.20.

Colvin said of the courses, “He has a really big stride, and all of the lines were pretty much (riding) easy today. I think the first course was a little more challenging than the second one, but he handled it great.”

For Immediate Release
Lauren Fisher for Jennifer Wood Media, Inc.

Upper Marlboro, MD – September 25, 2014 – The Capital Challenge Horse Show (CCHS), presented by The Gochman Family, is pleased to announce some great improvements to the facility at Prince George's Equestrian Center (PGEC) this year, including footing upgrades in all of its outdoor rings. CCHS celebrates its 21st anniversary in 2014 beginning this Saturday, September 27, and continuing through October 5 in Upper Marlboro, MD.

Shannon Bethel of PGEC is proud of the work that has been done to improve the facility in recent years and hopes that exhibitors enjoy the very best show experience with their horses at this year's Capital Challenge Horse Show.

Bethel explained some of the facility work that has been done, stating, “In between our last two shows we went in and removed the entire base of the main show ring outside. We took 14” out, and we installed an entirely new drainage system and a completely new base. We also installed all new fiber footing and then Capital Challenge had David Lauinger top it off with his footing to make it even better. We ended up with a ring that is absolutely the best we have ever had. You can ride during pouring down rain storms or anything else. It turned out perfectly.”
