Many thanks to the competitors, supporters, sponsors, and vendors who attended Aspen Farms’ second event derby of the season on March 18 and 19. Despite a rainy start on Saturday, the weekend ended with sun. Jumping rounds were held in the lower sand ring with show jump and cross-country fences. Placings were determined by fastest clear round. Some riders also elected to ride dressage tests in the upper arena.

Congratulations to our top finishers! The leaders each day are featured below.
