Ocala, FL – Feature class action from week II of the 2022 USEF Fall Show Series came to a close early this morning with the $10,000 1.40m Jumper Classic. The 2022 USEF Fall Show Series will resume on December 7 for another two-weeks before we kick-off the 12-week 2023 Winter Spectacular Show Series on January 4, 2023.
Twenty-three top-level athletes competed for the win over Peter Grant’s (CAN) intricate first round track where 16 horse-and-rider combinations excelled and nine managed to jump double clear. Santiago Lambre continued his winning streak this morning, aboard his new mount Nono VD Withoeve (Elvis Ter Putte x Chellana I Z) owned by All In Horses and Jan De Waard.
Lambre and the nine-year-old Belgian Warmblood stallion yielded an effortless first round in 82.679 seconds to qualify for the immediate jump-off.
Nono VD Withoeve is a new mount for Lambre, “’Nono’ just arrived this week. This was our first show together and he’s proved himself to be very careful. I showed him the last three days and he hasn’t touched one fence. He’s still a little green, but I think he is going to be a very competitive horse.”
The pair advanced straight to the jump-off, “I liked the jump-off. I didn’t have to run because the track offered a few options for tight turns.” Lambre and Nono VD Withoeve soared around the jump-off track in 36.616 seconds to ultimately secure first place.
Aaron Vale and Thinkslikeahorse’s Cargolot PS (London x Paragona) found the second-place finish in today’s classic. Vale and the eight-year-old Warmblood gelding produced a smooth first round in 84.145 seconds to advance to the jump-off. The pair dashed around the short track, taking tidy inside turns to stop the timers at 36.748 seconds, just one tenth of a second behind Lambre.
Just behind Vale and Cargolot PS was Chloe Reid and Live Oak Plantation’s Chelsea 179 (Candor 5 x Laudana). Reid and the seven-year-old Oldenburg mare delivered a speedy first round in 77.760 seconds, well under the time allowed of 87 seconds. The pair advanced straight to the jump-off flying around the track to stop the clock at 36.764 seconds to round out the top three.
