Congratulations to Lillie Keenan (14 yrs. old!) winner of the 2011 $100,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby Finals

The judges included Scott Hofstetter (FL), Otis Brown (KY), Russell Frey (MD), Julie Winkel (NV), Carleton Brooks (CA), Jimmy Torano (FL), Jim Clapperton (MI) and Mike Rosser (NC) who were split into panels of two and placed in strategic positions around the arena.


Keenan, New York, NY, one of the youngest competitors at age 14, led the pack aboard the brilliant 9-year-old warmblood mare Madison, owned by Chansonette Farm, LLC. "I loved the course; it was a true hunter course. It reminded me of the pictures of my mom when she was a kid riding an outside course," said Keenan.
