Here are the results from the first of the Central Ontario Region's Qualifiers for the Central Canadian Zone Show Jumping Championships, held on Sunday, May 30, at Dreamcrest Equestrian Centre near Port Perry, hosted by the Uxbridge-Scugog 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 two other qualifiers, to be hosted by the Ajax Pony Club on July 18 and by the Brooklin Pony Club on August 1.
