Here are results from the first Central Ontario Qualifier for the Regional Show Jumping Finals, held on Sunday, June 29 at Blue Star Farm near Mount Albert, hosted by the Uxbridge-Scugog and Durham Pony Clubs. Selection for the Regional Finals will be based on scores achieved at this meet and two other qualifiers in July.
In this show, three divisions of Pre-Entry riders competed in two classes each: a single round plus jump-off class, and a medal class judged on equitation both over fences and at various gaits on the flat. The higher divisions competed in three classes each, a single round plus jump-off class, a power and speed class and a medal class to determine a Champion and a Reserve in each division.
