Colvin was Best Child Rider on a Horse for the fourth year in a row after taking multiple championship titles, including the Grand Junior Hunter Championship with Betsee Parker's Way Cool.
Showing over two days, Colvin guided Way Cool to Devon's 2014 Grand Junior Hunter Championship. For the win, they were awarded the "Ovation" Perpetual Trophy donated by Parker.
Way Cool, a 12-year-old Hanoverian gelding, won all three classes over fences in the Large Junior Hunter 16-17 division with high scores of 92, 95, and 93, to take top honors. He was also overall Large Junior Hunter Champion and was then awarded the Angelo Perpetual Trophy as the horse who, in the opinion of the judges, best exemplifies the classic hunter horse in movement, jumping, style, and presence.
Addison Gierkink of Harpswell, Maine, guided Candy Tribble and Windsor Show Stable's Promised Land to victory in the $20,000 Show Jumping Hall of Fame Junior Jumper Classic to earn the Second Marie Cramp Hill Memorial Challenge Trophy.
Giavanna Rinaldi, 14, of Wayne, Ill., earned the overall Junior Jumper Championship to win the Barry G. Balmer Memorial Trophy. Lucy Deslauriers was the reserve champion.
Rinaldi also earned the Leading Junior Jumper Rider Award and was presented with the second Richard W. Atkinson Memorial Challenge Trophy.
