November 8, 2006 Local Horseback Riders Bring An Astounding 21 National Championship Titles Home to Winston-Salem from National Horse Show in Tennessee. Local Instructor Named Best in the Nation. Winston-Salem, NC – In an unprecedented show of skill and strength, 13 riders from Cash Lovell Stables & Riding Academy competed in the National Academy Championship Finals in Murfreesboro, TN on Nov. 4 & 5, 2006. Members of the riding team earned 21 National Championship titles. The team’s instructor, Mary Marcum Orr, was named the top instructor of the show -- winning more honors with her riders than any other instructor in the show’s history. Ending their competition season, winning riders from across the country met in Murfreesboro to compete in front of a three-judge panel of experts for the National Academy Championships. In the past, riding academies from Kentucky and Illinois have dominated the show. 2006 marks the first year that a North Carolina riding academy has shown such strength in this revered national equestrian event. Riders of all ages competed in elimination rounds during the grueling two-day show, which started at dawn and ran late into the night. In a stunning display of consistent force, every single Cash Lovell Stables rider who entered the competition was selected to ride in the Final Grand Championship rounds. Children through adults competed in different classes, divided by age group. Cash Lovell Stables’ youngest National Champions, Miss Allie Poovey and Miss Libby Bowen, are amazingly just 5 years old. Their instructor, Mary Orr, is the head trainer at Cash Lovell Stables. Orr received her Master’s Degree in teaching from William Woods University in Fulton, Mo., where she specialized in Equestrian Science. She, and her husband Evan, are partners at Cash Lovell Stables & Riding Academy, where they also are head instructors. Since 1940, Cash Lovell Stables & Riding Academy has been
well-known in the Piedmont Triad for its reputation for teaching
safe, structured English riding lessons to all ages. “I’ve never seen so many talented riders on the same team,” said Joyce Webster, the manager of the National Academy Championship Finals Show, which is featured in major equestrian publications such as The National Horseman. “It’s a stunning display of force.” Equally amazing are the rider’s determination to use their love of riding to help others. This year, the National Academy Championship Finals will donate proceeds of $15,000 to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. In addition to their participation in shows, by themselves Cash Lovell riders have raised and donated more than $40,000 to charitable causes close to their hearts in recent years. They particularly like to help US Equine Rescue League (NC Chapter), which nurses abused horses back to health, and the Riverwood Therapeutic Riding School, which teaches handicapped children to ride. The Little Bits group of riders range in age from 3 to adult. They are enrolled in riding lessons at Cash Lovell Stables & Riding Academy, located on Darwick Road, four miles from Hanes Mall, in Winston-Salem.
