U.S. Storms to Nations Cup Win at CSIO Buenos Aires
Lexington, KY - Four U.S. show jumping riders traveled to CSIO Buenos Aires in Argentina, and their trip proved worth the miles when they scored a big win in the Nations Cup. Led by the four-fault efforts of Young Rider Lucy Davis (Los Angeles, CA) and John McConnell (Lemitar, NM), the U.S. Team put in an impressive effort to jump to the win on 24 faults over the Canadians who finished on 37. The home nation was third on a score of 43.
