Pony Club Members Compete For Spots At Central Canadian Show Jumping Championships

Here are the results from the first Central Ontario Region Qualifier for the Central Canadian Zone Show Jumping Championships, held on Sunday, May 29, 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 three other qualifiers, to be hosted by the Centaurus Pony Club on June 19, by the Ajax Pony Club on July 17 and by the Brooklin Pony Club on July 31. This year, the Central Canada Zone Championships are being hosted by the Western Ontario Region on August 20-21.

In this show, three divisions of Pre-Entry riders competed in two classes each, a medal class judged on equitation, both over fences and at various gaits on the flat, and a single round plus jump-off, plus a warm-up round. Pre-Entry riders do not qualify for the Central Canadian Championships. The higher divisions competed in three classes each, a medal class, a single round plus jump-off and a speed class, to determine a Champion and a Reserve in each division. Highlights follow, with results to tenth place in each class after the highlights.
