Here are results from the third Central Ontario Qualifier for the Regional Show Jumping Finals, held on Sunday, August 16 at Springfield Stables Riding Academy, hosted by the Brooklin Pony Club. Selection for the Regional Finals will be based on scores achieved at this meet and two other qualifiers, one held in June and the other in July.
In this show, four 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. Highlights follow, with more detailed results after the highlights.
