USEF/Markel Young Horse Dressage Championships Final Presents the Horses For the Future

Hilltop Farm’s Pacino and Tami Glover

With 13 horses to go in the class, each one presented had something positive to show. In sixth place was Hilltop Farm’s handsome American bred Oldenburg, Pacino, ridden by Tami Glover, by Hilltop Farm’s stallion, Parabol out of Corthena by Cor Noir. Judge Cara Whitham, who spoke for the panel, commented on his “natural uphill top line and lovely ground covering walk”, giving his highest score of 8.7.

While his trot and canter not yet through in the top line and consistently balanced, he still received a respectable score of 7.3 in both gaits. With a solid score of 7.0 for submission, Tami Glover improved her 9th placed position from Friday’s Preliminary Test to sixth overall.
