She and her horse won the trophy and $10,000 and were named the 2009 Adequan U.S. Equestrian Federation Gold Cup Series Champion. Kelly Farmer of Keswick came in third at the recent Capital Challenge, in the 2009 American Hunter Jumper Foundation's Professional World Championship in Upper Marlboro, Md., behind winner Hunter Tosh of Cummings, Ga., and second-place finisher Scott Stewart of Flemington, N.J. Tosh won after four rounds of competition riding four different horses. Riders must compete on borrowed horses for this championship and must ride different horses over each of the four courses. The first three courses were hunter courses with 3-foot, 6-inch fences. After the first three courses, only three riders were asked to compete in the fourth course, a handy hunter course. Tosh won at his first try in this championship besting three-time winner Stewart.
