TAMPA, FL-September 28, 2001- Danielle Torano of Ft. Lauderdale, FL was
leading the East Conference with 136 points; and Morgan Fauth of Wayzata, MN

Horse Show in August.
At the Kentucky National Horse Show, Haas was the third to go in the
nine-competitor jump-off field. After posting one of only three clean

Notorious, who finished in third with a time of 42.852 seconds.

the East Conference with a win at the American Gold Cup. She was in first
place with 136 points. Caitlin Venezia of Marstons Mills, MA was second with
76 points, while Paige Rassas of Northfield, IL was third with 60 points.
Joy Carrier joined the winning ranks after claiming her first victory at the
Quentin Riding Club Fall Horse Show in Pennsylvania. After advancing two
horses to the three-competitor jump-off, Carrier had the luxury of going
first and third. Riding Down Under, she turned in a four-fault round in
34.642 seconds. Beth Forbes Howard of Stuarts Draft, VA and Stormin Norman
proceeded to ride clear in a time of 34.831 seconds. Knowing the time to
beat, Carrier reentered the ring with Shindig and turned in a clear ride in
33.000 seconds to claim the win.

charitable and educational organization whose purposes include providing
financial and technical support for amateur equestrian programs for adults
and children including therapeutic riding and competitions for the disabled.
