The 17-year-old took the top spot in a hunter seat medal final.
RUMSON, NJ-- A Rumson resident had a fantastic showing at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show this past weekend.
T.J. O'Mara, 17, won first place in the Pessoa/US Hunter Seat Medal Final at the national competition.
“It is a little unbelievable, last weekend really hasn’t sunk in and the fact that it happened again today is unbelievable,” O’Mara told USEF Network. “I am in shock right now. I never expected this to happen. My goal was just to be in the test, I would have been happy with a top four ribbon and I just can’t believe it right now.”
