                                                           One of the most highly anticipated events of the 2021 National Horse Show took
                                                           the spotlight Saturday evening, bringing some of the world’s top show jumping

                                                           the winning title in the $213,300 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Lexington
                                                           CSI4*-W, which serves as the third leg in the prestigious tour. Of the competitive
                                                           pack representing 10 different countries, it was Kent Farrington (USA) and Ga-
                                                           zelle who rode to victory as the only double-clear effort of the evening.

                                                           Time allowed would play a factor in the first-round track crafted by Bernardo
                                                           Costa Cabral (POR), knocking a number of competitors out of contention by
                                                           going seconds over the clock through the winding path. A number of blind turns
                                                           off of the rail would also pose a challenge to horses and riders throughout the
                                                           13-obstacle course. Captain Brian Cournane (IRL) was the first to navigate the
                                                           course clear over the fences, but 2 unfortunate time faults aboard Armik prevent-

                                                           rounds later, Mark Bluman (COL) produced the first clear effort over the fenc-
                                                           es and on the clock aboard El Conde, owned by Francisco Pasquel. The United
                                                           States’ Aaron Vale and Elusive, owned by Thinks Like A Horse, would force a
                                                           tie-breaking jump-off as the eleventh entry to contest. Seven others would add
                                                           their names to the jump-off lineup, including Paul O’Shea (IRL), Natalie Dean
                                                           (USA), Daniel Bluman (ISR), McLain Ward (USA), Tiffany Foster (CAN), Far-
                                                           rington (USA) and Margie Engle (USA).

Eight fences made up Cabral’s shortened jump-off course to challenge the field of international athletes one final time. Leaving plenty of
space for athletes to gallop their mounts in hopes of shaving seconds off the clock, the track also featured a tight roll back off of the rail to
fence three, a tall, skinny oxer that demanded scope and strength to clear. The pathfinder for the second round course was Mark Bluman
and El Conde, acquiring 8 faults to leave the door wide open for the remaining eight pairs. Vale and Elusive were next to challenge the
track, posting 4 faults to the scoreboard. O’Shea would suffer the same fate after knocking two rails down aboard Skara Glen’s Machu
Picchu, with Dean immediately following to take down an early rail with Chance Ste Hermelle. Daniel Bluman would nearly forge the
way with a double-clear effort, but Ladriano Z would catch an unlucky rail in the combination. However, the duo’s speedy time of 32.62
seconds was good enough to place them at the top of the leaderboard with just four contenders left to be seen.

Veteran show jumping athlete Ward put forth a valiant effort aboard his 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games’ mount Contagious in the hopes
of notching his sixth grand prix win at the National Horse Show. He navigated the 12-year-old DSP gelding through the timers in 32.60
seconds, but the double-combination would again be the source of 4 faults on course to leave room for the lead to change hands again.
Foster was next to challenge, incurring yet another 4-faults on the scoreboard and stopping the timers in 33.17 seconds to leave her out
of the running for a podium finish. The first double-clear round of the evening would be left up to the final two riders in the lineup. As
the second-to-last pair to contest Cabral’s track, Farrington and Gazelle would deliver the fault-free ride the crowd had been waiting for.
Spectators were on the edge of their seats as Farrington piloted the 15-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare through the track with ease,
careful enough not to succumb to the mistakes of previous competitors. They would clear the timers without any rails on the ground in
35.960 seconds, good enough to slip into the lead.

Though Engle, the final competitor on course, would give her best effort aboard Dicas, a late rail on course would push her out of the
running for a spot in the top three. In the end, Farrington emerged victorious with his and Robin Parsky’s mount Gazelle. Ward and
Beechwood Stables’ Contagious had a quick enough 4-fault round to claim second place honors, with Daniel Bluman riding Blue Star
Investments & Over the Top Stables, LLC’s Ladriano Z, a 13-year-old Zangersheide gelding, to round out the top three

Mimi Gochman and Celina BH Fly to First in
            $25,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame Amateur-Owner/Junior Jumper Grand Prix
The final day of show jumping competition at the 2021 National Horse
Show kicked off Saturday afternoon in the Alltech Arena with the
$25,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame Amateur-Owner/Junior Jumper
Grand Prix. Serving as the Show Jumping Hall of Fame (SJHOF) Year-
End Championship, the National Horse Show is the final stop on the
East Conference for the prestigious program. Capping off their year
with a win, Mimi Gochman and Celina BH bested the 30 horse-and-
rider field to lead the victory gallop at the conclusion of the class.

The Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series has held its
championship final at the National Horse Show for more than 30 years.
The series is designed to provide junior and amateur riders with op-
portunities to compete at the highest level of their divisions. Over the
years, it has been won by riders such as Brianne Goutal, Laura Chapot,
Reed Kessler and many other outstanding riders. Recognized for their
excellence throughout the 2021 series, Zayna Rizvi and her horse Ex-
cellent won the 2021 junior division, and Vanessa Hood rode her own
Lou Lou VLS to victory for the series’ amateur division.

Portugal’s Bernardo Costa Cabral crafted the 15-effort track fit for the
occasion. Equipped with a triple and double combination, and a series
of rollback turns between the lines, the 1.45m fence height track set
the stage for the horse-and-athlete pairs. As the first horse and rider
on course, Maya Aryal and My Girl 52 blazed their way through the
course to deliver an exemplary clear round, setting the bar for remain-
ing pairs as they tried their best to replicate their efforts. Next in the
order-of-go, Sophia Ahearn and Quick Bob would force a jump-off
after crossing the timers with no faults to their name. Twelve others
would add their names to the star-studded lineup for the jump-off,
including Alex Parrish, Carlee McCutcheon, Natalie Dean, Emma Sar-

Elena A. Haas, Hood, Grace Debney and Gochman.

Cabral’s 6-obstacle shortened track offered ample room for contenders
to gallop their mounts across the Alltech Arena in hopes of shaving
seconds off the clock. First on course was Aryal and My Girl 52. The
pair put in a conservative but clear ride, breaking the beam in a fault-
free 34.22 seconds. Ahearn would put more pep in her step over the
shortened course, immediately overtaking the lead by shaving three
seconds off of Aryal’s time in 30.75 seconds. Three others would try to
overtake Ahearn’s lead, but faults on course would leave them out of
contention for a podium finish. Alston and Prestigious delivered a clear
round on course, but could not beat Ahearn’s time, finishing in 31.015
seconds. Schulze and Lord Up would also produce a fault-free effort,
but would slide just behind Alston for their time of 32.312 seconds. In
a game of leapfrog, Hoch, Haas and Hood would all overtake the lead,
respectively. With just one left to be seen, Gochman laid it all on the
line for one final round. Riding Gochman Sport Horse LLC’s 11-year-
old Holsteiner mare, Celina BH, the junior athlete rode a quick course,
besting the field with a clear round in 27.72 seconds to ultimately take
the win in the $25,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame Amateur-Owner/
Junior Jumper Grand Prix. Debney and Temple Equestrian LLC’s Bo-
heme de La Roque, a 10-year-old Selle Francais mare, would settle for
the second place honors, while Hood and Take Two LLC’s 10-year-old
Belgian Warmblood mare, Lou Lou VLS, rounded out the top three.

The Special Relationship with the ASPCA Maclay

The relationship between the National Horse Show represents the power of organizations and events to work together to create positive
awareness and change. As the sponsor of the ASPCA Maclay Equitation championship, the ASPCA has associated it’s self with the next
generation of equestrians as well as helping to bring its mission to a new and captive audience year after year.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) was the first humane society to be established in North
America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. The organization was founded on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and re-
spectful treatment at the hands of humans and must be protected under the law. Headquartered in New York City, the ASPCA maintains
a strong local presence, and with programs that extend our anti-cruelty mission across the country andare a privately funded 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit corporation, with more than 2 million supporters across the country.

The National Horsemanship Championship for the ASPCA Alfred B. Maclay Trophy has a rich history that reaches back to 1933. The
contenders were judged on their seat and control of their mounts both on the flat and over a course of fences. The “Horsemanship Cup”
was donated by the late Alfred B. Maclay, an officer of the ASPCA and President of the National Horse Show from 1922-1924.
The Horsemanship Championship is one of the most prestigious competitions for Junior riders in the United States. Its winners are some
of the biggest names in equestrian sport.

Over the years the ASPCA Maclay Finals have been termed the ‘proving ground of champions’ and the ultimate test for America’s young
riders. And in the case of this classic test of horsemanship skills, that’s certainly more fact than hype.
