<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; "><strong>Katie McVean showed she’s got plenty of rising talent in
her stable winning two of the big classes at the National Young Horse Jumping
Championship Show in Dannevirke today.<br></strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">The 25-year-old Olympian from Mystery Creek took three of
the top four placings in the seven year old championship while also winning the
five year old championship and placing in the six year old championship.<br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">Her trifecta in the seven year old championship was only
stopped by fellow former Olympian Daniel Meech (Taupo) aboard Branson MVNZ.
McVean won on Dunstan Springfield, was second on Dunstan Delilah and fourth on
Dunstan Kiwi Iron Mark.<br><br></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">McVean says she had no favoured
mount heading into the jump-off, and all three had starred at various times
throughout the season for her. Delilah is the half sister to Delphi, and both
Springfield and Delilah are by Indoctro.<br><br></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">And she figures she has a
super speedy little star in the making in her five year old champ Dunstan Carlo
who only arrived from the Netherlands in September. It was the first time the
horse has ever jumped against the clock and he fairly flew home clean and clear
in a time none could match.<br><br></span></p>
<p>“<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The more I pushed him in the
jump-off, the higher he jumped,” she says. <br><br></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Logan Massie (Dannevirke) and
Double J Cloud Nine won the six year old championship.<br><br></span></p>
<p>“<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">She’s just a super little
horse who I have always rated,” said the 17-year-old who bred the horse in
partnership with the Jacobs.<br><br></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Massie was also third in the
young rider championship aboard Kiwi Ludo.<br><br></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Queensland edged out New
Zealand to take the honours in the trans Tasman young rider test after a strong
final day performance.<br><br></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"">The three day championships are one of the highlights on
the equestrian calendar for young horses.<br><br></span></p>
