The Zone 2 team won a record 13th gold medal in the 2019 Neue Schule/USEF Prix des States Team Championship at the 74th Pennsylvania National Horse Show Friday.
As usual, the Zone 2 (NY, PA, NJ) squad was expertly directed by chef d’equipe Ralph Caristo. The team included one Jerseyan, Sophee Steckbeck of Clarksburg, third last weekend in the Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Finals East. The other members of the squad–Ned Cunniffe, sisters Mimi Gochman and Sophie Gochman and Madison Rauschenback–all are from New York.
After a jump-off for second place, Zone 7 took the silver and Zone 5 got the bronze.
