In addition to her success in the hunter rings, Courtney has earned wins in the jumper rings as well. While showing Roseberry Farm’s River Dance, she won many junior jumper championships and started in the Grand Prix’s.

Since becoming a professional, Courtney has won numerous championships in everything from baby green to the working hunters. So far in 2007, she has won on horses including Weston, Scorched Sky, Piago, Merci Beaucoup, Artful Investment, and Blitzen
