USDF/ABIC Region 3 Championships

Georgia Weighs In

Gigi Nutter of Whiteburg, Ga. achieved a personal goal: claiming a fifth ABIC/USDF title with Fahrenheit, her partner of nine years, adding Grand Prix (61.4%) to previous fourth level, Prix St. Georges, Intermediare I, and Intermediare II championship wins.

"He's still a work in progress," Nutter said, explaining that she bought Fahrenheit (Wendland/Lenare) as a jumper prospect, but turned to dressage after having her first child at age 41.

Nutter also claimed the reserve championship in the open Prix St. Georges with Peggy Carspecken's Chronos mare Lestera (67.7%) and coached Adrienne Rogers, 17, of Newnan, Ga. to the junior/young rider third level championship (70%) with her Dutch gelding Milky Way (Columbus / Iris).

Another Georgia rider, Anneliese Vogt-Harber took the Intermediare II championship (64.3%) with her 15 year old Hannoverian gelding Advantige (Alderman / Agentine). Vogt-Harber also captured the second level open championship (70.1%) with Linda Sutton's 7-year old Swedish gelding Alexis (Amani / Notre Dame III).
