PRESS RELEASE

August 28, 2016 - Del Mar, CA - The Showpark Summer Classic hosted the California Professional Horsemen's Association (CPHA) Foundation Equitation Championship Finals this weekend. Divided into 22 & Over, 14 & Under and 21 & Under age divisions, after completing Round 1 on Friday, courses with work-offs built in as part of the Foundation format, the competition continued Sunday morning with Round 2 and further work-offs as needed. The honorable Scott Williamson and Mark Jungherr judged the hotly contested event. After two days of tests, three champions stood on the top of the awards podium: Tonya Johnson, Elli Yeager and Grady Lyman.
With tests built in to each of the CPHA Foundation courses, the rules read that after two rounds, the riders with the top four scores and those within three points of the leader, or those with scores of 80 or better, would all perform a final series of tests at the judges' discretion.
Johnson is All Business in the 22 & Over
Tests in Round 1 included a halt after fence 5b, cantering fence 6, trotting fence 9 plus some related distances and tight turn options. Drawing thirteenth in the order of go for day one, Tonya Johnson and her mount, Back In Business, scored an average of 87, which took over the lead and put Kathy Nolan's score of 83 into the second spot. Neither of those scores were topped, with Jessica Smith, Laura Owens and Stephanie Goodson finishing third, fourth and fifth for the round with 81, 80.5 and 80, respectively.

First to go on Sunday morning, the 22 & Over section started off a busy final day. Built-in tests for Round 2 included a halt after fence 2, then picking up a counter-canter to fence 3 which was on a bend to the left. Once again, Johnson led the round with another score of 87 and had a commanding eight-point lead going into the work-off.

The top six riders, who each had a cumulative score of over 160, returned for the final tests. Nolan's second round score reflected some inconsistencies in her ride; however, she returned sitting sixth of the top six called back. Finishing with the highest work-off score of all six riders, Nolan moved back into second place overall. Belle Calkin rode well on day two, moving from sixth to third in round two and with an 83 in the work-off, finished third overall.

Johnson had a rail at the first jump of the work-off, and although she was penalized slightly, her lead going in kept her on the top of the list, earning her the win by a narrow .375 margin.

From Northern California, Johnson trains with Hope Glynn, but came down south with Kelly Van Fleck to compete in these finals for the second time. Along with a championship ribbon and sash, a stall plaque, fresh flowers, a gift certificate and more, Johnson will also travel home with the Victor Hugo-Vidal Perpetual Trophy.

She rode MaryKate Moulton's Back in Business, known as "Willis" at the barn. "He's amazing, big-hearted and a blast to ride. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to show him this year."

As a mental skills coach, she liked how the courses had a variety of challenges and required some thinking. Author of the book, Inside Your Ride, Johnson tries to put her own advice into practice when she performs.

She has ridden since she was a child and remains excited and passionate about the sport. "I always am grateful every time I enter the ring. I enjoy learning new things and keeping my mental game fresh. I've worked on that this year."

Johnson looks forward to competing in more medal finals this season, from Sonoma to Washington, D.C.
Yes for Yeager in the 14 & Under
Round 1 for the youngest division started Saturday afternoon with 49 entries. Though they each may be only fourteen or younger, many have solid show miles already. Their tests in Round 1 were to halt after fence 6, which was in the bending line with 7ab, then canter 7ab and trot fence 9.

The best eleven trips all scored 80.25 or above, with the top score of the class, 88, earned by Elli Yeager riding Alant. The ten scores below Yeager were quite close, only two points separating first through fourth: Sydnie Young with an 87, Brooke Morin with 86.5 and Alexis O'Leary with 86.

Going into Round 2 on Sunday, it was still any of the top eleven rider's final to win.

The tests on the second day of the 14 & Under division included a counter-canter to fence 6 of a left-hand turn and a hand gallop to the final fence 11, a single oxer on the long side.

The star of Round 2 was Saturday's 80.25 score, Kaitlyn Lovingfoss, who moved from eleventh place to first with a score of 87 and a cumulative score 167.3 going into the work-off. As the scores came in, other positions in the top four shifted, with both Julia Stone and Payton Potter moving up into the top four, both consistently earning scores in the 80s.

With a good but not great round, Yeager slipped into third. The judges once again brought back each rider that scored above 160, which for this division meant the top four.

Jumping back into the number one position, Yeager earned another 88 for the top score and the win by one point with a total of 170. Coming in a close second was Julia Stone, whose score of 86 in the work-off gave her an overall total of 169. After coming in fourth last year, Lovingfoss moved up to third this season. Potter finished fourth.

Third time's the charm for Yeager, as this is the third year she has competed in this final and her first win. Committed to riding, when asked about other hobbies or interests, she said that horses were it.

She was glowing about her horse Avant. "His barn name is Fidget. He is seven years old and a half thoroughbred. He's absolutely amazing. I've shown him in a few Hunter Derbies, but this is only his second medal final."

Yeager will take home the Hap Hansen Perpetual Trophy, sponsored by the Van Sickle Family and Shadowbrook Stables, along with a list of other awards, including a cooler from Damoor's Feed & Tack, a bouquet of flowers, and more.

With big goals, Yeager wants to qualify for the Maclay Finals and win the Talent Search Finals, which means she will be competing in September at both Blenheim Fall Tournament for the Maclay Regionals and International Jumping Festival for the USEF Talent Search Finals, West Coast.
Lyman in the 21 & Under Limelight
Forty-nine of California's best young riders competed for the top prize in the 21 & Under age division of the CPHA Foundation Equitation Championship Finals. The group rode two days of tracks developed by FEI course designer Anthony D'Ambrosio. The honorable Scott Williamson and Mark Jungherr moved from Ring 1 to the Grand Prix Field to observe and test some of the best equitation in the West.

D'Ambrosio's first-round track consisted of 14 efforts, with two double combinations and two built-in tests, asking riders to trot fence 7 on top of the hill and halt before the last line heading home fences 11 to 12ab. It also demanded a smooth, flowing track.

In this field, the top fourteen scores were 80 or higher. Grady Lyman earned an impressive score of 90 in the first round aboard H Quito VH Parishof, three points higher than second place finisher Sydney McManus. Gracie Marlowe and Serena Anand rounded out the top four, with scores of 86.5 and 86.

The other competitors in the top ten were Emily Maclean, Tyler Francis, Michael Williamson, Ransome Rombauer, Katie Browne and Kit Cunningham.

As the final class of Grand Prix Field today, D'Ambrosio created a more technical track with 16 efforts, demanding the riders to be in control of each stride. The first test was two simple changes between fences 2 and 3, which if the changes went smoothly, were six strides apart. Competitors also had to counter-canter fence 6 on a left bend from fence 5. Other challenges included a double to a four stride line and a triple combination towards the end of the course.

Lyman once again topped the class with an 89, with McManus holding on to second, scoring an 85. While some riders had errors on course and slipped down in the standings, Kacie Doyle, winner of last week's CPHA Amateur Medal Final, jumped into the third spot. Nine riders returned to work-off, once again each of them having a cumulative score above 160.

The work-off began with counter-cantering a jump, then after negotiating five more jumps in various directions, riders finished with a hand gallop and halt towards the line-up.

The work-off scores were announced at the same time as the top ten ribbon winners, in reverse order. The top four held their own; however, the highest scoring work-off round went to McManus, who earned a 90. Still finishing second, she couldn't quite catch Lyman's overall excellence, as her work-off scored an 88 and she finished 1.5 points in the lead. Doyle also had a high scoring work-off, 87, and earned the third place spot on the finals podium.

This was Lyman's first year in the 21 & Under division, having just moved up from the 14 & Under. But she is not new to the winner's circle, having won the 2015 PCHA Horsemanship Finals and 2015 CPHA Junior Medal Finals.

Her mount, H Quito VH Parishof, is a jumper that has only been in the equitation ring for a few weeks. "He's a very quick learner and absolutely amazing," Lyman noted.

Riding with Nick Haness, Karen Healey also worked with Lyman this week. Along with the Championship, a cooler from DaMoor's Feed & Tack, a medal, stall plaque and fresh flowers, she was presented with the Barbara Worth Oakford Perpetual Trophy, sponsored by Hester Equestrian.

The action continues this week in Del Mar with the Showpark All Seasons Summer Tournament, August 31st through September 4th. Hunter highlights include the Sallie B. Wheeler/USEF National Hunter Breeding Championship, and Jumper highlights include the $45,000 Young Jumper Championships (YJC) West Coast Finals, the $20,000 Interactive Mortgage Horses 10&U Futurity Final, a $25,000 Markel Insurance Grand Prix Series Qualifier as well as an Interactive Mortgage U25 Developing Rider Series qualifier, plus the $50,000 Showpark All Seasons Grand Prix.

A detailed visual timeline of Michael Marraccini's court case against Laura Owens, including screenshots of texts and emails, can be found here.

Laura Owens begins relationship with Michael Marraccini in April 2016.

According to Michael via court records, he tried to end the relationship prior to their upcoming Iceland trip, but was coerced by Owens' parents because she was threatening them with suicide. Ronn Owens, Laura's father, begged Michael to stay in contact with her because her life was at risk and that he would help him get out of this relationship afterwards once she was safe. Text messages between Marraccini and Owens' parents reveal their appreciation for his help and later their condolences as his own stepfather was reportedly battling a terminal illness at the time. (Source below)

A woman, by the name of Karen, later submitted a statement in support of Owens, claiming she witnessed Marraccini verbally abusing Owens on the flight to Iceland.

Marraccini ends relationship with Owens in March. She claims he impregnated her, but later in court documents it was revealed she admitted she lied about that, apologized about the suicide threats, and there was never any evidence of a physical issue between them. Once Marraccini ended their relationship, Owens began stalking him, which led him to contact the police. That is when she accused him of physically assaulting and raping her, and it is presumed that those are the reasons she has an order of protection against him. She claims to have aborted the alleged pregnancy. (See link to court docs at end of this page.)

On April 30th, in a court document in the Clayton Echard case, it was reported that Laura Owens claimed during her relationship with Michael Marraccini that she had ovarian cancer and had an ovary removed.

On May 3rd, Laura filed an affidavit with the court stating that she never claimed that and the accusation is entirely false.

🚨 A result of 4,130 mIU/mL would be automatically flagged by the system with an H for High. This would be noted on the same line as the test result, below “Flag”. Because it is not flagged, it would appear that this is a doctored medical document. Also, “Final result” is inappropriately split between 2 lines. 🚨

Archived Blog: Let's Clear A Few Things Up; The Bachelor Update

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's impossible to cover everything in a single post, so I want to take a minute to break something down about what is happening in the Owens v. Echard (Bachelor) case.

As explained yesterday, Clayton Echard withdrew his Motion for Sanctions against Laura Owens. What does that mean? It just means Clayton has withdrawn (dropped) the motion he filed back in January asking the court to punish Laura for lying about being pregnant.

Does that mean the case is over? NO.

Does that mean Laura didn't lie? NO.

Does that mean the court isn't going to punish someone for lying? NO.

All those issues remain on the table for the judge to resolve.

The only change in the case is that Laura claimed there was a technical problem with the original sanctions motion Clayton filed. Clayton's lawyer disputed this, but rather than fighting about it (not every dispute is worth fighting over, even when you're right), Clayton agreed to withdraw his original motion. He remains free to still ask for sanctions in other ways.

Now, what's next? We have a very short trial (2 hours) set for June 10th. The issues for trial are very narrow. So let's try to get a grip on what is, and what is not, going to happen.

First, Laura started this case by filing a "PETITION FOR COURT ORDER FOR PATERNITY". In legal terms, this is called an " establishment petition". What that means is Laura was asking the court to make a finding that: A.) she was pregnant, and B.) Clayton was the father. Put differently, she wanted the court to establish Clayton was the father of her unborn child/children.

As everyone knows, Clayton denies Laura was pregnant and he denies he was the father. He says he never actually had sex with Laura. You need to wait and hear what he says about this on the stand, under oath, because it may not be exactly what you were expecting.

For her part, Laura will say she did have sex with Clayton, and after that happened, she tested positive for pregnancy at least 5 times. And for the record - Clayton has argued that a "HPT" (home pregnancy test) is somehow not proof that a woman is pregnant.

What he probably means is that an HPT is not conclusive proof that a woman is pregnant. And to save him any surprise - Laura agrees 100%. It is absolutely possible to have a false positive on a test. But how common is that? Consider this:

According to pregnancy kit manufacturers, most at-home pregnancy tests are 98% to 99% accurate when you use them exactly as instructed. Positive results can be trusted, but you can get a false negative result if you take the test too soon. Blood tests tend to be more expensive and inconvenient.

So yes, if Clayton argues HTP's are not 100% accurate, he will get no pushback from Laura, because that's true. The tests are only about 98% or 99% accurate, so if Laura took ONE test, there is a 1 or 2% chance she wasn't pregnant (bear in mind, Laura took multiple HPT tests, and they all showed the same thing).

For the record - there is NO requirement that a woman obtain a 100% reliable pregnancy test before she files a paternity action. In fact, there is no requirement that the woman have any pregnancy test at all. The ONLY requirement under Arizona law is that the woman must have some plausible basis to think she is pregnant. That could be something as simple as: she had sex, missed a period, and is experiencing symptoms of pregnancy (weight gain, morning sickness, etc.) So basically, while a positive test is nice, it is absolutely, positively NOT a prerequisite to filing a paternity action.

In addition, it's important to note - Laura's belief she was pregnant was NOT based solely on HTPs. She also had a blood test done (which is arguably more reliable). That test was also positive.

In this extremely odd situation, here is what I expect will happen at trial. Technically, Laura is still the "petitioner" (kind of like the plaintiff). That means we will get to go first at trial. But every issue raised in Laura's petition is moot because she claims she had a miscarriage in November 2023. Thus, she is no longer pregnant, there is no baby or babies on the way, and thus there is no issue of paternity for the court to establish. That is all moot now (and courts generally will not resolve moot issues).

I plan to explain all this to the judge, and I will ask her to simply dismiss Laura's paternity petition as moot. That doesn't mean she "loses"; it just means there is no remaining issue of paternity for the court to decide.

For his part, Clayton is not satisfied with this outcome. He wants more. He has asked the court to give him something called an order (or judgment) of "non-paternity" (sort of the inverse of establishing paternity). Basically, he wants the court to say he is not the father (despite that issue being moot), and he wants the court to go even further by making a finding that Laura was never actually pregnant to begin with.

This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of this case, so I want to make something VERY clear - in litigation, when a party takes a position or makes a claim, the person making the claim generally bears the "burden of proof" on that issue. What that means is if you claim something is true, you have to prove it is true with admissible evidence. If you fail to meet your burden of proof, the court will find against you on whatever issue you were trying to prove.

In this case, Laura is no longer claiming to be pregnant, so that issue is moot. She has mountains of proof that she was pregnant (despite claims to the contrary). However, she agrees it is impossible for the court to establish that Clayton is (was) the father, because DNA tests conducted in the case were inconclusive, and there is no longer any fetus to test. This is why Laura asked to dismiss the case back in December 2023.

Let me explain why this matters. Arizona law provides a set of rules for how paternity can be established. This is normally done by DNA testing, and it is important to understanding exactly what the law says about this....so take a look for yourself (here is the full statute):

A.  A man is presumed to be the father of the child if:

1. He and the mother of the child were married at any time in the ten months immediately preceding the birth or the child is born within ten months after the marriage is terminated by death, annulment, declaration of invalidity or dissolution of marriage or after the court enters a decree of legal separation.

2. Genetic testing affirms at least a ninety-five per cent probability of paternity.

3. A birth certificate is signed by the mother and father of a child born out of wedlock.

4. A notarized or witnessed statement is signed by both parents acknowledging paternity or separate substantially similar notarized or witnessed statements are signed by both parents acknowledging paternity.

See point #2 there? In most paternity cases (and yes, this is NOT my first one), the issue of paternity requires DNA testing to be performed, and the test results must come back showing a 95% probability match to the alleged father. If that happens, the court will issue an order finding paternity has been legally established.

In our case, the DNA tests were "inconclusive". That means they did not have enough tissue to give a meaningful result (which is different from saying the test affirmatively excluded Clayton as the father). Because Laura was the petitioner in this paternity case, and because she cannot show a DNA test with a 95% probability that Clayton was the father, the court is going to conclude that paternity was not shown here.

That just leaves Clayton's "counterclaim" in which he asks for an affirmative finding that he was NOT the father. But remember - the party who makes a claim bears the burden of proving that claim. And since Arizona's paternity statutes generally require a VERY high degree of proof, it is unclear how Clayton plans to meet that burden at trial.

YES - Clayton's testimony about all this IS still evidence. But by asking the court for a specific factual finding in his favor, what Clayton is doing is similar to a contested paternity case in which the alleged father walks into court and tells the judge: "The mom claims I am the father of her child, but I deny this and I want you to rule in my favo r based solely on my word." Because on the issue of Clayton's paternity, his word (and Laura's rebuttal) is the only evidence the court is going to hear.

No family law judge anywhere in the country would make a decision of non-paternity based solely on the father's denial. But that is what Clayton is seeking.

The point here is that given the unusual posture of this case, Laura's position is that if Clayton wants the court to find that Laura was never pregnant and/or that Clayton was never the biological father, those are issues Clayton must prove. He bears the burden on both of those matters, and the standard of evidence the court will likely apply is VERY high - it's called "clear and convincing" proof.

As I keep saying, everyone needs to wait for all the evidence to be presented in court. Once that happens, Laura is confident there is no possible way that Clayton will be able to meet the high evidentiary burden for the claims he is making. If she is correct, this case will end with a judgment in favor of neither side.

To me, that seems like an incredible waste of time and resources, but at least for now, that is where things are headed.
