Mandarino Takes Highest Honors

Only one rider could best Keenan this week in the race for the tricolors. Emma Mandarino guided her 6-year-old Hilton Hhonors to the small pony championship with a combined total of 1059 points.

The 11-year-old from Bedminster, N.J., felt nervous entering the final leg of the competition, but came up with a plan to help calm her jitters.

“We did the warm-up and pretended it was the first round and that the Classic was my second round,” said Mandarino.

The strategy worked, and Mandarino and “Pixie” looked at ease cantering around a challenging course full of bending lines and option jumps.

Mandarino admitted that Pixie can be green at times, but on Saturday her huge stride and natural rhythm outshone her youth.
