Grebitus Challenge Cup Champions

The 5th Annual Grebitus Challenge Cup Tournament was held at Starr Vauhgn Equestrians in Sacramento, California on Sunday, October 4, 2009.  Four jumper teams of four competed in a Prix de Nations format with riders showing at three levels: 2′6″ -  2′9″, 3′ – 3′3″, and 3′3 – “3′6″.  Each team had one rider at each level, and the final rider in the team chose the level at which to compete.  Three scores per team per round counted, the highest score per round was dropped.

The Equine Unlimited team, Lasting First Impressions, consisted of Amy Balsley, Kim Bare, Greta Evans and Savanna Little.  Going into the final round the Equine Unlimited Team was in 2nd place, each rider completed the course with no faults and Greta Evans finished her round with the fastest time of the challenge.  Each rider had fierce competition, yet they stayed focused and brought home the Grebitus Cup.  The team was coached by Malinda Kregoski; owner of Equine Unlimited, Inc.

Congratulations team!
