UPPERVILLE COLT & HORSE SHOW

Patty Davis, in the A Rated Medium Pony Division despite the pressure of her premier appearance in an Upperville ring. The pair had been slated to ride on Local Day but the smokey haze caused a cancelation. So Olivia stepped up to compete against the best of the best, made respectable trips in every class, and clearly enjoyed the experience.

Mindful, owned by Kensel LLC and ridden by Jennifer Hannan, topped the rankings in the $25,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby at the Upperville Colt & Horse show, Saturday, June 10, 2023.
