Lexington, Ky. – July 28, 2018 – Saturday morning in the Stonelea Ring at the Kentucky Summer Horse Show began with Amateur Owner Hunter competition where Lindsay Maxwell and her own Precedent captured the Amateur Owner 3’3” Hunter Championship to ultimately claim the Amateur Owner Hunter Grand Championship, generously sponsored by Visse Wedell.
Lindsay Maxwell and Precedent
Maxwell and the 7-year-old Oldenburg gelding nearly swept the Amateur Owner 3’3” Hunter over fences, which was California split, claiming the win in two of the three over fences classes in Section B across Friday and Saturday’s competition. The pair also bested all other entries to win the under saddle in Section B in Precedent’s first outing at the Kentucky Horse Park.
No stranger to the winner’s circle, Maxwell has ridden to many Grand Hunter Champion titles throughout her career. She also claimed the championship tricolor several times in the Amateur Owner 3’3” Hunter division throughout the Tryon Spring and Summer series with “Enzo.”
In addition to her riding career in the hunter ring, Maxwell also founded the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund in 2016 as a means to formalize her commitment to charitable giving. The fund supports meaningful organizations and programs that align with Maxwell’s philanthropic priorities and values such as improving the lives of children with special needs, enabling access to educational opportunities and providing care, compassion and protection to animals.
The Kentucky Horse Shows Grand Hunter Champion Awards are presented by Visse Wedell with champions awarded in the Professional, Amateur Owner, Junior, Pony, Adult Amateur and Children’s Divisions.
Hunter competition will return to the Stonelea Ring on Sunday, July 29, to highlight the $5,000 USHJA National Hunter Derby following the conclusion of the Junior Hunter divisions.
