National and the Washington International, Tina was named "best child rider" as well as being champion or reserve on Valhalla and Highclere in the Junior Hunters, Working Hunters, and/or Green Working Hunters.  In 1968, the last year as a junior, Tina along with Valhalla, was Champion Working Hunter at The National Horse Show, held at the prestigious  Madison Square Garden.
   Tina went on to do the Amateur Owner Jumpers on Welwyn, hence the name of her farm.  Welwyn ended the season as AHSA Res. Champion Amateur Owner Jumper for the year.
