home to top riders and train- ers from a variety of equine disciplines including event- ing, dressage, show jump- ing, racing and fox hunting. Two individuals, Ann


Hambleton and Lucy Glit- ters, compiled a list of ac- complished members of the Unionville equine commu- nity. Each year, someone from this list will be hon- ored at the Plantation Field International. The first re- cipient will be two-time World Champion, five-time


Olympian and U.S. Event- ing Association Hall of Fame legend Bruce David- son.


Denis Glaccum, Presi-


dent of Plantation Field Equestrian Events, Inc. said, “This list includes 51 ap- pearances in Olympic, Pan American and World Cham- pionship competitions by local individuals and their horses. The list continues with 13 champion steeple- chase jockeys and two champion steeplechase


trainers, and 29 Eclipse awards won by horses train- ing on Unionville hills. The most prestigious timber race in the world, The Maryland Hunt Cup, has seen 36 win- ners train in Unionville.” Glaccum added, “As


with any list there is always the chance someone is left off by mistake. We apolo- gize in advance. There is also the temptation to ex- pand and include the great racehorses with Unionville connections. However, our


recognition is on the sport horse


activities in


Unionville.” Davidson will be hon-


ored during Sunday brunch at the Plantation Field Inter- national Three-Day Event on September 22nd. To pur- chase tickets please visit https://plantationfieldeques- trianevents.eventbrite.com or for more information contact info@plantation- field.com
