Wayne, Illinois, USA – June 20, 2024 – Genevieve Munson (USA) of Rogers, Arkansas, concluded the 2024 Hits Chicago Lamplight Spring Spectacular Series with remarkable performances, securing top finishes in several key events. Notably, she claimed first place with her longtime partner, Zonderling, the $20,000 Alliant Private Client Cup on Thursday, June 20 before going on to repeat the feat with the same horse in the $35,000 CWD Grand Prix on Saturday, June 22.

Prior to Saturday’s Grand Prix, Munson also excelled in Thursday’s $20,000 Alliant Private Client Cup in the Douglas Elliman Arena. She delivered two unbeatable performances, claiming first place with Zonderling with a double-clear effort and a jump-off time of 34.48 seconds. This latest success adds to the impressive list of achievements for the pair, who have been together for five years.

After a whirlwind week of excitement, Munson expressed gratitude for her horses and the support she’s received.

“Every round with Joey now is extra special, because at 20, you don’t get many horses jumping these classes,” she said. “I’m thankful to the owners who support us and the improvements at HITS Chicago that make these experiences so positive.”

Second place in the $20,000 Alliant Private Client Cup went to Brian Murphy (USA) aboard Light Speed Equestrian’s 10-year-old KWPN stallion by Chacco Blue, Glenara Chacco DP, who also went double-clear, clocking in at 36.63 seconds. Munson’s second mount, Contendro Star, a 16-year-old Hanoverian gelding by Contendro I she owns with Sandra Woodbury, had the fastest four-fault jump-off with a time of 35.39 seconds.
