Whittaker MVNZ Wins Grand Prix in America

CULPEPER, VA (August 22, 2011)  Laura Linback of Mundelin, Illinois and Woodrun's Whittaker MVNZ (below), had an amazing week at HITS Culpeper. Last Friday, they captured the win in the $15,000 Brook Ledge Open Jumper Prix and successfully followed up with a big win in the $40,000 HITS Grand Prix, presented by Pfizer Animal Health.

 

Whittaker previously owned by Mount View Sport Horses and campaigned by Ike Unsworth and Katie McVean was sold to the States last year.

"The course was spectacular," said Linback,. "It rode really well and I was pretty confident about it. Fred only rubbed one rail at what seemed to be a difficult line for some."

"Fred is so easy and fun to ride. It's been a really exciting summer with him," she said. "He's just an eight year-old, so he's still a baby, but he's been going clear a lot this summer in the Grand Prix. He's still young, so we won't overuse him too much, but it's exciting to see where we'll progress."
