Young Rider Wins Gold

Phoebe Topping, the daughter of Jagger and Amanda Topping of Swan Creek Farms in Bridgehampton, recently won the individual gold medal and was a member, as well, of the gold-medal-winning team in the United States Hunter Jumper Association’s finals in Princeton, N.J.

“Phoebe and her horse, Epic, competed in four classes from Friday through Sunday, all of which were clear rounds,” her mother said in an email. “She not only helped her team win the gold medal in the Nations Cup format, but also won the individual gold. Needless to say, we are tremendously proud of her. She’s worked very hard and loves her sport — especially her horses.”
