Littlestown, Pa – June 19th, 2011— The 6th Annual PJA Grand Prix was the featured event of the PJA Jumper Classics two day all-jumper show. The change of location to the beautiful and spacious Swan Lake Stables was a huge success and resulted in opening a second ring to accommodate all the entries. Oscar Soberon of Monterey, Mexico set a challenging 17 jumping effort course for the 23 starters which resulted in 5 clean rounds, 2 with time faults and 4 with just 4 faults. First to return was Paige Johnson aboard the Salamander Farms entry “Chiron S” who set a very fast 4 fault effort in 39.552. Next to go was double gold medalist Joe Fargis aboard Sandron’s “Lariat” (another IJF graduate), with a ride that could win the medal finals, Joe went clean in a time of 43.140 to take the lead. Third in the jump off was speed demon Devin Ryan aboard Barbara Rowland’s hombred “No Worries” (D’Accord x Galoubet A ), Devin did not disappoint the crowd, jumping clean in the winning time of 38.781.

The $30,000 Blenheim Classic Grand Prix presented by the Orange County Register welcomed twenty-nine horse and rider combinations onto the International Field on Sunday afternoon. As expected course designer Linda Allen built a demanding track. At the end of the round one, nine horse and rider teams managed to jump without fault to earn an invitation back for the jump-off. Although many seasoned equestrians were part of the mix, it was 25-year-old Australian Lane Clarke who took home the top prize by delivering the only double clear of the day aboard Granville’s Casseur de Prix. “This is only the fourth grand prix [Granville's Casseur de Prix] and I have done together so to come out with a win this early in our partnership is pretty amazing,” smiled Clarke. As a large group gathered to congratulate him, the young professional said, “It’s great to have everyone in my barn come out and support me, especially on a day like this!” Clarke works with Hayden Show Jumping in Laguna Hills. Although he navigated both the first and second round courses without fault, Clarke still recognized many difficulties posed by Allen’s design.
