Daily Highlights
Aiken Spring Classic
April 23, 2016
Today’s feature event was the $15,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby
presented by Dietrich & Company Equine Insurance and sponsored by
Mystery Stables and Brenda & Bill Mackay. Thank you to our Derby Party
sponsors Glassy Mountain Farm and The Petersons!
The Dietrich Derby Field at Highfields provides a unique arena for the USHJA
class with leveled natural footing and a wide open arena with long
approaches that allow for horses to open their stride and show their stuff
over the bold obstacles.
The crowd gets into the big classes that happen on the outside course
adding an exciting element, cheering on their favorite horses and riders
after each trip. However, it never fails, as tension mounts and we get down
to the final few horses in the handy round, the crowd seems to hold their
breath and there is silence until the score is announced! We applaud Liza
Boyd who won the class with Pony Lane Farm’s Like I Said over John Yozell’s
Breeze with Havens Schatt. Full Results Below!
