Championship Performances at Palmetto Medal and Derby Finals

AMW Stables enjoyed a banner show during the Palmetto Medal and Derby Finals, held December 1-4 in Camden, South Carolina.

The team started out strongly with Hardie Horses LLC’s Cassius Del Caribe Z making a clean sweep in the Pre-Green Hunters with trainer Annie Walters! In his debut horse show, the 4-year-old looked like a seasoned pro, winning all three over fences classes and the under saddle over 11 other entries.

Painted Horse LLC’s On Point and Annie added yet more blue ribbons to AMW’s collection, winning two of the three Performance Hunter classes and finishing second in the Handy for championship honors in the division of 22. On Saturday night, “Sunny” made his debut under the lights in the $5,000 Palmetto Hunter Derby Final. He and Annie tied for first in the Classic Round and then topped the field with a fantastic Handy Round that earned scores of 85 and 87.

Fernando ES Z and Esme’ Melchoir concluded the show with a blue-ribbon performance in the Progressive Jumpers, which clinched them the reserve championship. By virtue of their consistent performances all week, the pair also earned the Hopeful Jumper reserve championship.
