Jump Canada Young Horse Series Announces 2010 Schedule

Ottawa, Ontario – The Jump Canada Young Horse Series has announced the competition schedule for the 2010 show season.

The Jump Canada Young Horse Series, featuring age categories for Four, Five, Six and Seven and Eight-Year-Olds, will be divided into three regions this year – Eastern, Central, and Western. The final competition in each of the three regions will count for double points to qualify for the National Finals, to be held this year at the Canadian Show Jumping Tourna- ment, September 22-26, in Palgrave, ON.

Following the conclusion of competition in each of the three regions, the top four scores for each horse will be added together to determine the Regional Champion in each age cate- gory. In addition, the top Canadian-bred horse in each age category in each region, as well as at the National Finals, will be recognized with a special cooler and ribbon. Recognizing that many horse owners from the Western division will not be able to attend the National Finals in Ontario, a total of $20,000 in prize money will be offered during the final Western division event, the Rocky Mountain Classic III to be held at Anderson Ranch in Calgary, AB, from September 1-5.

The purpose of the Jump Canada Young Horse Series is to encourage the development of young show jumping tal- ent and to give Canadian breeders addi- tional incentives to breed superior show jumping prospects. Competing on a level playing field, the horses are divided according to age and jump at a level suited to their development. This careful devel- opment allows the horses to gain valuable experience and advance to the higher lev- els of show jumping competition with con- fidence. The Jump Canada Young Horse Series also gives prospective buyers for

the hunter and jumper markets an opportu- nity to view a large group of prospects in a competition setting.

The Jump Canada Young Horse Series is now administered directly through Jump Canada and the Equine Canada offices.
