Lindsey Douglass, a Stanford student from Palos Verdes, was a show-stopper at the 56th annual Portuguese Bend National Horse Show in Rolling Hills Estates earlier this month.
She won the $10,000 Barby Hartwig Hereford Junior/Amateur Owner Jumper Classic and earned the second-place spot in the $15,000 Seahorse Jumper Classic aboard her horse Butterfly Tibri Z.
Douglass was also named the Best Adult Rider at the show, according to online results from horseshowtime.com.
Marnye Langer rode Legis Rockstar to the win in the Seahorse Jumper Classic, and Ransome Rombauer of Napa won the annual Pacific Coast Horsemen's Association Horsemanship Finals. Numerous local riders took home other prizes.
Though the Peninsula Committee Children's Hospital, which hosts the annual horse show as a fundraiser, does not disclose the amount of money raised from individual events, publicity chairwoman Caro Miguelez said the organization has raised more than $13 million since its founding.
Miguelez said she also believed that this year's horse show raised more money than last year's event.
"We certainly had fabulous attendance," she said.
