The regular Derby and Derby Within a Derby ran smoothly over designer Jon Wells’ thoughtful and educational courses, and the new this year Move Up Challenge proved to be a hit. The winning round in the Challenge, Jinae Thrysellius riding Milo, was described by the judge as “lovely.” We are grateful to the riders who put this competition on their cal- endars and to the staff, officials, and volunteers who make it happen and manage to stay cheerful!
