Two Maryland Sport Horses brought home wins over the first weekend in December, one in Dressage and one in Eventing.
On Saturday, December 7, Timothy Kammerer’s Holsteiner mare Epona WEF (Quinar x Rania (R Saluut II)) won the Third Level Test 1 class at the Stable View Winter Wonderland Dressage competition in South Carolina. This was Epona’s third win at the Third Level, the previous two being at the Summer Solstice competition in South Carolina on June 15, and the Spring Fever competition, also in South Carolina, on Apr. 20. Kammerer owns Sparling Rock Farm in Barnesville.
Also on Saturday, trainer Tim Keefe’s unraced Thoroughbred gelding Wonderful Courage (Bourbon Courage x Wonderful Secret (Stevie Wonderboy)) won the Junior Training Rider division at the Rocking Horse December Horse Trial in Florida. This was the gelding’s third outing at the Training level. His first was at the Ocala Festival of Eventing last April, and ended in a technical elimination on cross country. His second was at the November horse trials at Rocking Horse. He finished 12th.
Congratulations to all of their connections.
