Taylor adds to her collection of Gold hardware at the Australian Junior Olympic Festival in Sydney.  She won the Individual Gold Medal in Show Jumping beating 19 year old New Zealand rider Rachel McGregor in a jump off.  They were the only double clear rounds of the day that also saw  6 competitors jump off for the Bronze Medal.  Full results can be seen here .  The USEF press release is here .  The US Team ended up  4th after losing a jumpoff to the British Team for the Bronze.  This was Taylor's first time to represent the United States in international competition.

Taylor was Solid Gold at Harrisburg with Canaille earning the Individual Gold Medal as well as the Prix de States Team Gold with Zone 4 members Reed Kessler, Julianna Fischer, and Anne Marie Walker.  The jumping was tough with last year's winners, Zone 10 from California, earning the Silver.

Frances competed in her first Medal Class and had a good round riding her Junior Jumper Houston.  Both will be glad to be back in the Jumper ring in a few weeks in New York!
