Lucas Porter dominates at HITS Saugerties!
Texas Two Step!
Lucas Porter danced his way to a pair of Marshall & Sterling Classic triumphs during HITS-on-the-Hudson III. The Texas native had the highest score in the $500 Marshall & Sterling Children's Hunter Classic aboardDowntown Flyer. The horse-and-rider team were also weekly champions in the Children's Hunters, 14 & Under, guided by the watchful eye of trainer Frank Madden.
Then in the jumpers, 12-year-old Porter captured the top prize in the $2,500 Marshall & Sterling Children's Jumper Classic aboard Kardigan Noir. He then swept the Children's Jumper Division riding Kardigan Noir to seize the overall weekly Children's Jumper Championship, and his other horse Azteca earned the Children's Jumper Reserve Championship.
"I love to show here," said Porter. "My horses always go really well. I was circuit champion here last year on my horse Polo. This year we got to show in the new jumper ring and I really liked it a lot"
