Susie Phillips Wins First Congress Championship Aboard Al That Matters Most
In the last class of the day on Thursday, October 19th in the L1 Amateur Select Hunter Under Saddle, Susie Scott of Corrival Ranch won her first Congress Championship with Al That Matters Most, under the guidance of Scott Jones.
Susie says that winning her first Congress Championship hasn’t sunk in yet, and “Maddie May” and she have been together for a little over a year since she saw the mare by Allocate Your Assets and out of Sleepy Bombshell at the Premier as a three year old when Scott found her. “Laura and Wade Spell had her,” Susie explains. “I didn’t actually get to go to the horse show, but I saw her online and said, “I’ve got to have her,” and it’s kind of been kind of a fantasy ever since.”
They’re also going to show together in the Amateur Select Hunter Under Saddle on Saturday, and as far as their ride in the L1, “We went in feeling pretty confident and she warmed up good and she handled the traffic well, and I’m just real excited about how she showed. I think she looked pleasant through the bridle, she was good in her head and neck, she kept her belly up, and she just loped her ass off!” Susie laughs.
