Devon, PA - As the sun began to set on the Dixon Oval Saturday evening, the $15,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame Junior Jumper Classic lit up the ring. The first round consisted of 10 obstacles, a water jump, and a double with a variety of other challenging obstacles that must be completed in a time allowance of 48 seconds. The winner of the event, sponsored by Turner Investments would win the Second Marie Cramp Hill Memorial Challenge Trophy and a hefty $4,500.

As the rounds got underway many would enter the ring and not return for the second timed jump-off. However ten riders did prevail. In this bunch that made it into the timed jump-off were some of the strongest riders from the day including Victoria Colvin, Michael Hughes, Shawn Casady, Abigail McArdle, Kira Kerkorian, Claudia Billups, Katherine Strauss, Kalvin Dobbs and Alexandra Crown. With five competitors finishing the course with zero faults, time was of utmost importance. In the end, after ten thrilling, rapid rounds, Victoria Colvin stole first place on Waminka with a time of 34.190 seconds and second place on Monsieur Du Reverdy with a time of 34.415, both owned by River's Edge Farm. After her first and second place winnings she was welcomed back into the ring to receive the Junior Jumper Champion on Waminka and Reserve Champion on Monsieur Du Reverdy. Making room on her saddle for one more ribbon, Victoria was honored with the Leading Junior Jumper Rider award to her and Waminka. Ms. Colvin smiled proudly, and with great gratitude she made a victory lap around the ring adorned in numerous ribbons boasting the day's work.

As Saturday night brought Junior weekend to a close, the excitement at Devon will continue to grow as the adult riders, including the Olympic hopefuls, arrive this week at the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair.
