Odette Rises to New Heights in $5,000 Keyflow Feeds USA 3’3” Green Hunter Classic
A new classic was introduced to the WEF hunter schedule with Thursday’s $5,000 Keyflow Feeds USA 3’3” Green Hunter Classic. Held in the E.R. Mische Grand Hunter Arena, riders and horses from the 3’3” Green Hunter division had the opportunity to compete for additional prize money where placings were determined by the combined score of the riders two rounds.
Taking the first-ever victory in the class and the week’s division championship was Nick Haness of Temecula, CA, and the eight-year-old mare Odette, owned by John & Stephanie Ingram, LLC. The pair scored an impressive pair of 90s.
“The addition of this class is a great way to get these green horses and even their owners out into the bigger arenas across a more technical course,” said Haness of the new offering in which courses were designed by Danny Moore. “The incorporation of bending lines and tougher questions was a good challenge for these horses, which I think will set them up for success later in the season and future championships.”
