Wellington, FL – April 18, 2007 – This past
weekend, Allwyn Court’s Katherine Newman earned another tricolor
in the Large Junior 16-17 Junior Hunters at the Zada Enterprises LLC Littlewood
Spring Circuit. Newman trains with her parents, Kathy and Gerry, at their
Wellington-based farm. Sixteen-year-old Newman piloted Nairobi for Nora
and Morgan Thomas and owner Kimberly Wang.

Nairobi was presented the reserve championship in the
Large Juniors after he won a first, second, and two thirds
over fences. He also pinned second under saddle. Newman only
started riding Nairobi a few weeks ago, and since she took
over the reins, she has been either champion or reserve every
week. In addition to Nairobi, Newman competed in the jumper
ring with her horse Costa Sur. The duo finished third on Friday
in the High Junior Jumper class and placed sixth in the $10,000
High Junior Jumper Classic on Sunday.
Along with her own horses, Newman frequently
competes with catch-rides in the show ring. This year she
has earned ribbons with Chop Chop and Alaska for Nora and
Morgan Thomas, as well as Almelo, Forever Blue, and Daydream
for owner Mimi Abel-Smith. She also received high ribbons
during the Winter Equestrian Festival with Sarah Ward’s
horse Onassis, and Agincourt, a horse owned by Dunwalke LLC.
Allwyn Court also took top honors
in the Small Pony under saddle with Farnley Byron and rider
Christina Firestone. The pair also won two blue ribbons and
two thirds over fences. They received third in the model and
finished with reserve championship honors. Firestone, who
is the niece of grand prix show jumper Alison Firestone Robitaille,
started in the Small Pony Hunters this year.
Tracy Topping, another student at
Allwyn Court, continued her success in the Adult Amateur Hunters
on Espoir du Feif III. Topping’s mount recently transitioned
from the Adult Jumpers to the Adult Amateur Hunters, and the
horse has won numerous ribbons since the switch.
Allwyn Court will continue to show
at the Littlewood Horse Shows and plans to attend competitions
in Kentucky, Spruce Meadows, Devon, Upperville, Lake Placid,
Washington D.C., Harrisburg and Syracuse in 2007.
