Upper Marlboro, MD – October 10, 2012 – The team at Uphill Farm took the Capital Challenge Horse Show by storm last week. Not only did Missy Luczak-Smith capture the Adult Amateur 36-50 Hunter Championship, but also Meredith Darst and Lightning Z took home the reserve championship in the Large 15 and Under Junior Hunter division. Under the careful eye of trainer Tom Wright, the show was a sure success, and only the first stop for Uphill Farm as everyone prepares for the upcoming Indoors.
