In prior years, the majority of our competitors were in the lower levels, but time has passed and our accomplished riders are moving their horses appropriately up the levels This year's contenders for Grand Champion were all in the FEI levels-- and some new faces and horses made the competition even more exciting  Lily Zilo debuted her flashy new stallion Esmaltado this past winter, winning a number of Intermediare I classes in the Adult Amateur division Professional rider Endel Ots is a new face on a PRE, who rode a successful season on Lily Zilo's powerful gelding, Gorrion Argentine Grand Prix rider Mica Mabragana brought Hampton Green Farm's breeding stallion Cuatrero back to the showring after four years, with an exemplary first season in the Small Tour, and Rachel Chowanec continues to move up the ranks into the Young Rider division with her National Champion Embrujado  [caption id="attachment_4424" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Lily Zilo, Janne Rumbough, Mica Mabragana, Endel Ots"][/caption] [caption id="attachment_4425" align="aligncenter" width="282" caption="Rachel Chowanec"][/caption]
