Elkton, Md. –The Dutta Corp Fair Hill International came to an exciting conclusion on Sunday as three- and two-star competitors proved their mettle over Sally Ike-designed show jumping tracks. Both Jennie Brannigan and Julie Richards produced faultless rounds to claim victory in the CCI3* and CCI2*, respectively.

With a clear effort in the show jumping, Brannigan (Kennett Square, Pa.) and Nina Gardner’s 12-year-old Irish Thoroughbred gelding Cambalda moved up one spot in the placings to win their second CCI3* and claim The Dutta Corp/USEF National Three-Star Eventing Championship on a score of 48.2. Additionally, the pair was named the USEF National Developing Rider Champions.
