George Kelly and Glasgow in their awards presentation
The Finally Farm riders made the most of their time in the show ring during the Capital Challenge Horse Show, held September 24-October 5 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
September 28 was a night to remember for George Kelly. At their final show together, George rode Glasgow to scores of 87 and 85 to top the podium in the $10,000 North American League (NAL) Children’s Hunter Finals! This pair has had an extremely successful and consistent year, and we were thrilled to see their hard work paid off! It was a fantastic way to end a such a special partnership!
