Dunham wins PCHA Child/Adult Hunter Championship

The Pacific Coast Horse Shows Association banquet Jan. 6 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego included the recognition of PCHA Child/Adult Hunter Championship winner Maddy Dunham.

The lifelong Bonsall resident won the Oct. 13-14 competition which was part of the Oct. 11-15 Del Mar International Welcome Week horse show. Separate scores were given for each day and the two daily scores were combined to determine the class winner.

Dunham, who turned 17 on Nov. 20, rode Freestyle, a 7-year-old warmblood gelding. Freestyle is owned by Alex and Michelle Parker, whose Cross Creek Ranch is in San Marcos. The Del Mar International Welcome Week competition was Dunham's second on Freestyle.

The October event was also Dunham's first competition in the PCHA Child/Adult Hunter Championship class which is for both children and adult amateurs.

Dunham participates in the online program of Classical Academy and is in 11th grade. She has been involved in show riding since she was 8.
