Team DF Earns Top Results At FCHP

High Times and Jennifer McFall

The Fresno County Horse Park has been making vast improvements over the last year and this February they debuted an Advanced class along with their CIC * and ** divisions. Having levels of this calibre available in Northern California is a great benefit to our horses and riders and we cannot thank John Marshall and his crew enough for the investment they have made in our area.

Winning the inaugural Advanced division, was Team DF’s own Jennifer McFall aboard High Times. Billy gave a respectable Dressage test, even though there was a loose horse during his ride that looked like it wanted to join him in the arena! After clear rounds in both the stadium and across the challenging new cross country track, his win was cemented as well as being a great start to the season. Cori Davis and A Golden Effort also started the season off with confident jumping rounds in the Open Intermediate and a sixth place finish. It was good to see this exciting partnership back in action. Dinero successfully tackled his first Intermediate at Fresno with Earl McFall in the irons. His clean cross country run was especially impressive considering that is only the beginning of his second season eventing.

Laurel Meck and Checkpoint Charlie produced a convincing lead in Dressage, and maintained to take the win in their Training level division. At only five years old, Let’s Go DF, was a very impressive and a solid competitor for third place in Training Horse. Ending on his Dressage score, he and Earl McFall are a team to keep an eye on. Sarah Moseley piloted her own Earl of Foxpoint to a sixth place finish in Junior Training. This team keeps improving and look to be contenders at the Training Three Day at Rebecca Farm. Shauna Diller stayed focused with Simply Susie to take away a fourth in their Novice division. This steady and forward duo can always be counted on to finish at the top of their class.
