Jacobs, who has just returned from a successful trip to the European Youngsters Cup Competition in Leipzig, Germany, had an extremely successful first show back in the United States. Throughout the week, Jacobs was awarded various winning titles, including Grand Junior Hunter Champion with Bring It On.
She also accomplished a tough feat, winning all three major equitation classes at the horse show. This included the top call in the USEF Medal, the USEF Show Jumping Talent Search class and the Washington International Horse Show Equitation, all aboard Stallone VDL who is owned by North Star Ventures.
Jacobs was also unbeatable in the jumper ring, winning the Low Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Classic, this time with Karonda V. Schl'Hof CH.
"I hadn't shown Bring It On, or anyone really since Florida," noted Jacobs. "All of the horses came out re-energized and focused. They were ready to go! Bring It On was just great in the Junior Hunters, and Stallone VDL couldn't have been better too. He is such a fun equitation horse, and one that really tries. It was nice to do so well! Karanda has had some time off, and she back amazing and she felt good!"
"This coming week I will show Promised Land in the grand prix, which I am looking forward too! He was so great in Germany, and I am excited for this weekend. It will be a great warm-up before we head to Devon."
Jacobs and her incredible string of horses will compete again this week in Saratoga, before traveling to the prestigious Devon Horse Show the last weekend in May.
