About Shawan Downs Trophies
Except for the Advanced and Intermediate trophies, these are all for the best scoring MDCTA members at each level, regardless of placing. At the Advanced and Intermediate levels the trophies go to the overall winners. The winners’ and their horses’ names are engraved on the trophies, the oldest of which dates to 1982.
MCTA Horse Trials Photo History
This is the only photo we can find from the very first MCTA Horse Trials, held at the Richard N. Jackson family’s Jackson Hole Farm in Upperco on June 18, 1972. It shows Mardi Frey, a recent graduate of Lake Erie College, where she had done a little eventing, on “Possum,” whose name was upgraded to Poker Stakes (he’d reputedly once been won in a game) for the occasion. Long-time horsewoman and owner Mrs. Wallace P. Neilson entered him simply to support the new organization, of which her daughter Jane and Mardi’s sister Ruth were founding members. He did manage an 8th-place ribbon, though!
