In only their third week of showing together this winter, Ellen Toon and JT Farm’s Iberia made a clean sweep of the Camping World Adult Amateur Hunter 50 and Over Section A over fences classes by winning all four. Coupled with a seventh-place finish under saddle, Toon and her seven-year old Hanoverian mare clinched the division. With husband and trainer Jimmy on the ground, Toon has been flying back and forth from WEF to their home base in South Salem, New York, giving Iberia several weeks off from competition. The breaks appeared to be a positive, however, as consistent scores in the high 80s handed Toon the title over a field of 20. Continuing a female-domination of the Adult Hunter 50 and Over division, Sandra Epstein and her own 12-year-old Swedish Warmblood mare Gisele collected Reserve Champion. Winning top honors in the under saddle, Epstein who trains with Molly Flaherty of Arcadia Farm in Yorktown Heights, NY, was fourth and second over fences.
