Students Excel at ESDCTA Eventing Championships

Northampton County residents Kelly Kromer and Meghan Iudicello-- along with their horses Hope to Prosper and
Genuine Gent -- netted huge accomplishments at local Eventing Championships.

Bucks County Horse Park, located in Revere, Pa , hosted its first annual Eventing Championship on November 8,
2009. The Championship event was held for the ESDCTA. Eventing is an Olymoic- recognized sport, which requires
horse and rider to participate in a Dressage test, complete a Stadium Jumping course and a Cross Country Course.
The final score is derived from an average of the three events, after jumping  and time penalties are deducted.

With perfect Stadium and Cross country rounds, Kromer was named Champion at the Novice Level. Iudicello placed
3rd at Novice Level, with a Dressage score of 34.5, which pulled her up in the placings after a downed rail in the
Stadium portion.
