Al Cook. (Kathryn Clapp and Donnerkind.)
Based on accumulative points during the 2010 competition year, the SmartPak Adult Amateur Hunter Ranking List, the award comes with a prize from the USEF and SmartPak. Clapp’s accumulation of 1,000 points earned her the prize by a wide margin.
Clapp, 24, said, "This past year has been one of the best opportunities of my life. He was a great horse and a lot of fun, and I want to thank all the people that helped me get there."
Competing for several years as an adult amateur, Clapp said it’s the spirit of competition and work that appeal to her most.
“It’s nice to have goals and something to work toward," she said. "There’s always something new to learn, and there are opportunities to grow."
Second on the SmartPak Adult Amateur Hunter Leading Rider List with 817 points accumulated was Michigan’s Kendall Meijer aboard Casanova. Lynn Rogers of New York was third with 771 points aboard Anika B.
