Wayne, IL – The open jumpers had their first class of competition today during the second week of the Wachovia Showplace Spring Spectacular horse show held at the beautiful Lamplight Equestrian Center.

Canada’s Beth Underhill and Rhiannon proved last is the best when they sped to the win in the $10,000 Canterbury Farm Open Jumper Welcome Stake. Underhill beat her leading time with Rhiannon and finished second with Magdaline. Chuck Waters and 747, the only other double clear round, were the third place finishers.

There were ten numbered obstacles in the first round, and seven riders were clear to advance to the jump-off. All seven chose to complete their jump-off at the end of the first round.
