This ambitious amateur doesn’t let her late introduction to show jumping slow her down.
Samantha Tuerk knew she could win when she stepped into the ring on Magique des Vaux.
They were the final pair to jump-off in the $10,000 low junior/amateur-owner jumper classic at the HITS Showday National Horse Show, July 9-13, in Culpeper, Va. Tuerk loves to show last and proved why, posting a clear round with a blistering time of 41.21 seconds to top Alexa Lowe’s Obiwankonobie (0/42.04) and 33 other entries in the classic.
