Courtney Calcagnini – $25,000 USHJA International Hunter
Derby winner
On winning the $25,000 USHJA International Hunter
Derby for the second year in a row:
“I’m so excited. This is a dream come true. I was a little
nervous going in to the first round because we won last year
but he was perfect, and awesome in the second round also. It
all worked out.”
On Bowie:
“[Bowie] jumps amazing and really high. I tried to make sure
I had a great pace going to fence one and just stayed on it the
whole time. I didn’t see other riders go, but that’s what I liked
the most about my round. He is one of a kind. He’s the scopiest
horse I’ve ever ridden in my life. When we tried him in Europe
he jumped 5 feet so this is so easy for him. It gives me so much
confidence when I ride him. He’s a beautiful jumper and Courtney Calcagnini & Bowie winners of the

were able to do both today. It’s the first time we’ve ever done
that. I’ve been riding him since he was 8 years old. Getting him
going in the derbies and now seeing how he is with Lori
[Mathews], it’s just the best feeling in the world.”
On the course:
“It was a great course. I think they set it like it should be with
nice, big jumps. I thought it was great prep for derby finals.”
On GLEF:
“They do a great job. It’s so beautiful here and the weather
is amazing. At home it’s like 101 degrees so we love coming
up here and staying for the month. It’s a beautiful facility with
great, nice people. We leave Monday for Kentucky and we’ll
be there for two weeks just resting and prepping again before
derby finals.”
