Pony Clubbers Compete For Spots At Central Canadian Show Jumping Championships

Here are the results from the fourth and final Central Ontario Region's Qualifiers for the Central Canadian Zone Show Jumping Championships on Sunday, July 21, at Audley Road Stables near near Ajax, hosted by the Ajax Pony Club. Selection for the Central Ontario Show Jumping team, which will compete against teams from the Western Ontario and St. Lawrence-Ottawa Valley Regions, will be based on scores achieved at this meet and other qualifiers hosted by the Uxbridge-Scugog Pony Club on May 26, by the Ajax Pony Club on June 23, and by the Sudbury Pony Club on July 13. This year, the Central Canadian Zone Championships are being hosted by the Western Ontario Region August 17-18.
