Earlierin the day, Amanda Steege on Lafitte De Muze won the $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby.
In the Grand Prix, Jacobs was clean in 32.77 to beat Kayla Langmeier on Riesling van de Gassthoeve, clean in 33.48.
McLain Ward on First Lady was fourth in 33.53, Roberto Teran Tafur of Colombia on DSP Callas was fourth in 34.90, Ilan Bluman of Colombia on Acajou was fifth in 34.95 and Hunter Holloway on Hanry Jota Ariel, fastest of the four faulters, was sixth in 31.89.
"I just tried to stay on my plan and do the least number of strides between fences," said Jacobs."I watched McKayla go because her horse has the same stride as mine. I just gave it my best shot."
“The atmosphere at Devon is like nothing else," she said. "It’s incredible. I showed here a lot as a junior, and last year was my first year back since 2013. I came this week with horses that I thought would suit this ring, and I’m thrilled with the result.”
"I bought Korbach at the end of his 9-year-old year." she said. "He had done some U-25 classes. I tried him and just fell in love with him. He has a lot of ability. He’s super athletic and very, very careful.”
"He was fourth in the Old Salem Grand Prix and is getting consistent now," said Jacobs. "So I'm happy with how far he's come in a year."

Designed with the serious horse enthusiast in mind, the property seamlessly combines a turnkey training facility with the timeless charm of a circa-1780 farmhouse—creating an ideal setting for both horse and rider.
A private trail encircles the pastures, offering the ease of riding directly on your own property.
Wide-plank yellow pine floors, deep window sills, and exposed beams reflect its heritage, while the thoughtfully designed layout supports today’s lifestyle.
Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second floor, while a walk-up attic offers expansion potential.
In addition, the well house offers shelter to the 18th century stone-lined well and keeps animal feed close at hand.
A working stone spring house sits at the edge of the pasture and feeds the Pickering Creek.
The property offers reduced taxes through the Clean and Green program and is a turnkey farm with hens, goats, potbelly pigs, Icelandic sheep and two roosters can be included.

We offer feeders for horses, cattle, goats and sheep, and have many feeders and equipment on our farm and can help recommend the best ones for you to do the best job.
