McKayla Langmeier Is Victorious in the WIHS Pony Equitation at 2010 FTI Winter Equestrian Festival

March 26, 2010

Wellington, FL --- Pony Hunters kicked off their weekend of competition today with the WIHS Pony Equitation. McKayla Langmeier topped a field of 23 riders when she claimed the win in the WIHS Pony Equitation on Friday afternoon at the South Grounds of the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.

Langmeier, a nine-year-old Connecticut resident, is a veteran of the Winter Equestrian Festival, having competed here for three years. She rode Victoria Press' small pony, Blackberry, to the win in the WIHS Pony Equitation today. "She's very fun and smooth," Langmeier said of Blackberry.

Langmeier received a high score of 86 to secure the win over Porter Allen, who was awarded an 85 for second place. The third place was presented to Sabrina Slagowitz, who received a score of 83.

Langmeier has been riding since she was about two years old, and trains with her mother, Linda Langmeier. She described 13-year-old Blackberry, or "Sugar," as "a really good girl. Her personality is very fun, and she likes a lot of treats."

"Sugar is the best pony!" owner Victoria Press added with a smile.

Pony competition will continue tomorrow when Small, Medium, and Large Pony Hunters take action at the South Grounds of the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. Champions will be decided on Sunday, March 28, which is the last day of the eleventh week of competition at the 2010 FTI Winter Equestrian Festival.
