On the Grand Prix Field, four-time U.S. Olympic medalist Beezie Madden claimed a win in the $10,000 Open Jumper 1.45m riding Con Taggio.
Robinson, who rides with trainers Andre Dignelli and Patricia Griffith at Heritage Farm in Katonah, NY, won all three jumping classes, the under saddle, and the handy to sweep the Adult Amateur Hunter 50 and Over Division. Her five blue ribbons also earned her and her own Mahalo, an 18-year-old Warmblood gelding, the Grand Adult Amateur Hunter Championship title.
“Even though he is an older horse, he still has a lot of spunk.
Every time I get on him we have a lot of fun together,
and I had so much fun with him today. He was perfect.”
