North Salem, New York, USA – September 14, 2023 – Course designer Ken Krome built several single-phase speed tracks for Thursday’s Open Jumper division at the Old Salem Farm September Horse Shows. Although Colin Syquia (PHI) proved the fastest in the 1.40m Open Jumper, it was Hilary McNerney (USA) who brought home first and second places with the only two fault-free rounds.

McNerney’s 1-2 finish came from her smooth and steady rounds aboard her own Riscalino and VDL Kane, who stopped the clock in 83.765 and 88.393 seconds respectively. Syquia earned third with Seahorse Show Stable’s Hocus Pocus, tripping the timers on the fastest four-fault score of 79.898 seconds. 

The Old Salem Farm September Horse Shows, September 12-17, September 19-24 and September 27-October 1, host competitions for riders of all levels and ages, ranging from young children on ponies to top Grand Prix stars aboard their up-and-coming mounts.
