She competes in the low child/adult jumpers category, which involves leaping over fences set at 3 feet, 3 inches, or shorter. Competitors navigate a course with several barriers and are judged by how fast, and cleanly, they finish the course. After winning her district’s United States Equestrian Federation Grand Champion competition last year and two state titles, Gencarelli is hoping for the opportunity to compete in the Kentucky National Pony Jumpers finals in August.
