Keri Potter and Kalimera Van De Nethe Z Go Two-For-Two in Elk Rapids Marina Grand Prix
Keri Potter (USA) and Kalimera Van De Nethe Z made it two-for-two in Traverse City on Saturday by repeating their winning performance from a week earlier and clinching the $117,000 Elk Rapids Marina CSI3* Grand Prix during week three of the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival (GLEF), presented by B&D Builders. After topping the Southern Arches CSI3*Grand Prix just one week earlier, the pair returned to Flintfields Horse Park and again emerged victorious.
The 11th season of GLEF now heads into week four of six weeks of FEI competition running through August 10, showcasing an FEI Nations Cup CSIO3*, the FEI North American Youth Championships and the return of Major League Show Jumping CSI5* competition to Traverse City. Highlights also include the $100,000 USHJA World Championship Hunter Rider Central Spectacular and weekly qualifiers for the all-new $150,000 Traverse City Equitation Championships debuting in September.
Potter stopped the clock with a smile, clearing the short course designed by Michel Vailliancourt (CAN) in a time of 34.05 seconds, beating out a field of 12 horse-and-rider combinations and pushing early leader and Canadian Olympian Erynn Ballard into second.
