HEATHER BLITZ AND RIPLINE WIN US DRESSAGE FINALS 

NATIONAL THIRD LEVEL CHAMPIONSHIP

Oak Hill Ranch's Stallion Maintains Consistent Form 

To Secure Another Major Title 

 

Medfield, Massachusetts, USA. November 7, 2014.

 

Pan American Team Gold and Individual Silver Medalist Heather Blitz once again rode Oak Hill Ranch's six year old Danish Warmblood Approved stallion Ripline (Hotline x Blue Hors Cavan x Rambo) onto the winner's podium. Their score of 71.239% headed a field of 24 to take the US Dressage Finals National Third Level Championship Open.  The Hotline stallion adds another prestigious title, this time in the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park, to a collection of awards this season.

 

Blitz  commented on the stallion's consistency and performance at the Finals: "Ripline is such a solid competitor and he proved it once again in the ring today. It was 40 degrees and windy and he wasn't phased at all by that.  He lacked a little energy because of the 24-hour trip to get here but overall, he was as good as gold.  It's like he won the 'Dressage Triple Crown' this year with his win at the Young Horse Finals in August, his 3rd level Region 8 Championship win in September and now the Third Level Championship at Nationals.  Next, we'll aim toward the Developing Prix St George for the start of next season."

 

Ripline's owner and founder of Oak Hill Ranch in Folsom, LA, Richard Freeman, is extremely proud of the young stallion's accomplishments and how his performances continue to make him one of the most exciting stallions in the country.  "I'm thrilled with Heather and Ripline have completed a gloriously successful year. It is a great joy to see them perform," he noted.
