NORTH SALEM. New York, Aug. 4, 2018–Caroline Garren on Bell Angelo won the North American Junior Rider individual championship Saturday for her second gold medal after winning the team competition two days ago.
The 18-year-old Caroline in her second continental championship having competed Bell Angelo in 2017 scored 70.147 per cent, a CDI career high, for the win.
Caroline of Atlanta and the 10-year-old Hanoverian gelding, the high score on 68.600 for her gold medal team, have been competing through the levels for the past three years. With Bell Angelo, the first horse she has owned, she moved to international competition in April at the Tryon, North Carolina CDI.
Bianca Schmidt of Edina, Minnesota on Lou Heart was second on 70.029 per cent with Canada’s Chase Robertson on Winsome third on 70.029 per cent.
Caroline grew up riding mostly lesson horses–“Quarter Horses, Percherons–you name it.”
“This is the first horse where my parents sat me down and said they wanted to buy me a nice horse to compete,” she said.
“I felt this great connection. He was a young horse, and I have never ridden a young horse before, so that was a big learning curve to have a seven-year-old instead of a [older horse].
“At first it was tough, but we got him into the right program with my trainer Karen Lipp. He can be quite quirky sometimes, but we really put the time and energy into finding the right equipment, feed, and vets, and everything that works for him. It has been a really great experience with this horse. I love him; he’s my baby.”
