The Spring Series spans five weeks and runs through May 10, featuring hunter, jumper and equitation competition at Wellington International, home of the famed Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF). Learn more about the Spring Series HERE.

Ana Catalina “Catsy” Cruz Harris (MEX) set the tracks for the week’s highlight event, which saw ten horses advance to a tie-breaking jump-off from a starting field of 45. After winning the $10,000 Bainbridge Companies Open Stake earlier in the week, Laura Chapot (USA) sat handily in the lead for most of the round on a time of 39.459 seconds. She rode C&C Willow, an 11-year-old Irish-bred mare by Emerald out of a thoroughbred mare (Cortynan Loughahoe Girl).

Keenan returned as the penultimate challenger to take the win in 35.855 seconds with Electrique, a 12-year-old Zangersheide mare also by the stallion Emerald out of a Voltaire mare. Keenan was also third aboard 5 Roosters’ Anton (39.485 seconds), an 11-year-old Zangersheide stallion (Arko III x Quintero Z).

The Horse Is Exceptional

Keenan is piloting Electrique for her student and the horse’s owner, Isabel Coxe. “I show her in order to give Izzy the best instruction I can—I competed Electrique during Premiere Week of WEF, and it set us up well for them to be able to grow a lot in the season. That recipe seems to work for our system,” said Keenan of the mare that has already competed up to the five-star level. “The priority is that they develop a relationship and a bond, and see how far they can go together, but the horse is exceptional.”

Keenan said Coxe and Electrique will next compete during the CSI3* of Spring II.

Going Full Speed

Keenan will now focus on her outing for Team USA at the FEI World Cup™ Finals next week in Fort Worth, Texas. “Having two horses in the jump-off was actually good practice for next week—being able to practice going full speed is good for your riding. I think it was an advantage for me to do this today before I go to Texas.”
