NORTH SALEM, N.Y. - The Old Salem Farm September Horse Shows delivered world-class equestrian competition earlier this month, as five countries were represented in the $200,000 4* Blue Diamond Cup presented by Old Salem Farm.

Five entries completed Alan Wade’s challenging 17-effort, 1.55-meter course without faults, advancing to the jump-off for top honors. Nicolette Hirt-Slade of the United States, riding Dalton Van De Lindhoeve Z, was the only competitor to complete a double-clear performance and claim the victory.

The September Horse Shows featured riders of all ages and skill levels, from young children competing on ponies to top Grand Prix stars aboard elite mounts.
