Molly Mcadow and Caston Prove Outstanding in WEC Hunter Derby 3′ – Open

03 Dec 21 | Shows | SHARE
WEC Hunter Derby 3′ – Open winners soar through the festive greenery.

An elegant holiday-themed décor set a festive scene for World Equestrian Center – Wilmington’s Derby Friday classes. Flocked trees, natural jump features and several mega-sized gifts were hard to miss on the R+L arenascape. 

Besting a field of sixteen entries, Molly Mcadow of Highland Manor Farm and her own Caston took top honors in the WEC Hunter Derby 3′ – Open. Mcadow and Caston were the only duo in the class to earn a pair of scores in the 90s. Their stylish first round earned them a 91. Welcomed back to the ring for the handy round, Mcadow and her mount navigated the course brilliantly, earning a score of 93. Their efforts added up to a 184 total and ultimately earned them the blue ribbon. 

All smiles in the winner’s circle for Mcadow.

After capturing the perfect winner’s circle photo, Mcadow joined us to chat about today’s win and her 11-year-old Holsteiner gelding “Today I showed Caston. He is such a great horse and I have owned him now for six years. I just got him back from a lease earlier this week and decided to play around with him in the Derby before he gets tried for another lease next Wednesday. I haven’t gotten to ride him in six months, so we went out there to just have fun! I know him so well and he is so trustworthy. I can always count on him!”

Michaella T. Gerlacher and Calisandro jump through the holiday trees to second place.

On great form today and just behind Mcadow was Michaella T. Gerlacher of Willow Way Farm in Johnstown, Ohio and Janet Cohn’s Calisandro. The stunning 10-year-old gray Hanoverian gelding (Stolzenberg x Calida) earned an 86 in round one, followed by an impressive 90 in the handy, totalling 176 for second place. 

Davidson and David Beisel through the wagon wheels into third place.

David Beisel of David Beisel Stables, Goshen, Ohio and Lori Taylor’s Davidson were also impressive in tonight’s derby. Beisel has been exhibiting this handsome gelding at nearly every WEC show since their Derby debut this summer. Today they earned an 86.25 and an 84 to total 170.25, for a third place finish.

WEC Hunter Derby 3′ – Non Pro winners Jacquelynn Christenson and All In

Thirteen stunning entries took on the WEC Hunter Derby 3′ – Non Pro course in the R+L arena for Derby Friday. Previous WEC Open Derby winner, All In, was piloted by Jacquelynn Christenson to take the blue in today’s Non-Pro division. The 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood delivered two foot-perfect rounds for scores of 90 and 84, totaling 174 for the first place finish. 

A quick snapshot in the Derby winner’s circle with All In.

Christenson was proud of her horse and took the time to chat with us after the class, “I’ve had him for five years now. He is the world’s best hunter horse! Always so trustworthy and the nicest horse that I’ve ever had. Not only is he such a pro, he really enjoys what he does. Riding him is always a blast because he loves to jump and he loves the show ring.” 

Second place finishers – Sophie Carlin and Cabochon over the holiday hedge.

Sophie Carlin and her own Cabochon (Cabardino x Kountdown) were hot on Christenson and All In’s tail. Carlin and the 6-year-old chestnut Warmblood mare earned a pair of 86’s, for a total score of 172 and a red ribbon.

Nicole C. Lyvere and All In take the third place spot.

A second horse named All In (Pontifex x Ferrara) and his owner, Nicole C. Lyvere, rounded out the top three. This seasoned duo has several derby wins under their belt and today the 17-year-old bay Westphalian gelding earned impressive scores of 87.5 and 81 to total 168.5 for third place.
