She is the granddaughter of Dr. And Mrs. Jan Duggar of Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Mr. and Mrs. Lee King of Grenada, Mississippi. The competition in pony jumper is held in the Nations format which is the same format used in Olympic competition. Each member of the team draws out their order in the go. After the first class is completed only the top four teams are allowed to jump again for a final score and rank of Gold, Silver and Bronze. Entering the final phase our team was in second place and it could go either way. We had some big smiles when the finals scores put us in the Gold position. It was a wonderful experience for all of the riders. Allie said "It is a real honor to be part of the team." Frank her father said" we are proud of her for qualifying for pony finals, and to win the Gold is more than we expected!" Allie's pony, Double Delight, is a Virginia Bred pony from the welsh/thoroughbred stallion, Sailor's Delight. Allie will tell you that her pony loves to jump!
