Meredith Huddle and Captainess
The first week of the two-week Aiken Fall Festival at Bruce’s Field brought new partnerships and a fresh feeling of fall on September 7-11.
Meredith Huddle and Captainess made their 1.10 Adult Amateur Jumper debut a winning one! They also took other ribbons as well for a great show and the section championship. Special thanks to Hardin Towell for finding “Geisha” and bringing this partnership together.
Gigi Manigault and Creekside
Gigi Manigault doubled the tricolors in the Amateur-Owner Hunters. She earned the 3’3” championship on Creekside and the 3’6” reserve championship on Walk-Off. Gigi won five of the 10 classes in the two sections!
Camryn Cass was all smiles after earning the championship in the 3’3” Junior Hunter section aboard Catchphrase. The pair also placed third in the combined Junior Hunter Classic.

Girl power was felt throughout the show! Elle Boyd and her lovely ladies enjoyed a winning week. Loafers Lodge Melody earned the championship in the Medium Ponies and Kensi was champion in the younger Children’s Hunters. Elle and Melody won three of the four over fences classes on their way to the tricolor for a super show!

MC Nolan had a great week with her horses, scoring an 88 on Golden Years for a well-deserved blue in the 3’6” Junior Hunters. She also topped the combined Junior Hunter Classic and earned the section reserve championship aboard Bettina. And she wasn’t done yet! MC rode Exclusive to fourth in the USHJA Junior/Amateur National Hunter Derby and was fifth in the SCHJA Governor’s Cup Finals in a competitive class of 22 excellent equitation riders.
Rebekah Warren and Ultirate Z captured the Adult Amateur, 36 and over championship with excellent rounds, including two wins over fences.
