$7,500 New Stride Thoroughbred Jumper Challenge Series
Help us showcase the Thoroughbred horse
New Stride is proud to recognize, promote, and reward Thoroughbred owners and riders with our fourth annual Thoroughbred Competition Series. The first two years were run in a Hunter Classic format and this year we've opted to run it as a Jumper Challenge to further showcase the versatility of Thoroughbreds. We aim to show the public the best side of the Thoroughbred horse and the industry built around it. Our unique series will raise the profile of Thoroughbreds in sport and will ultimately help find more homes for these magnificent animals.
An idea that’s growing and growing…
The idea of holding a Thoroughbred Competition Series was spearheaded by our friends Stacey Krembil and Long Run Thoroughbred Adoption Society in Ontario. Over the last seven years, they have built it into a highly regarded Hunter Classic Series that draws Thoroughbred enthusiasts ranging from promising amateurs to seasoned professional riders. The Series is showcased at a variety of “A” Circuit and FEI-ranked shows.
Working in partnership with Stacey and Long Run, our goal is to build out the same success in British Columbia and create a national Thoroughbred Series over the next few years.
Who is eligible to compete and what are the show rules?
It’s open to all Thoroughbreds with valid tattoo or papers from The Jockey Club or CTHS. A copy of the papers must be provided to the Horse Show Office. If competitors do not have registration papers, they must provide a letter from a vet confirming their horse’s tattoo number. Competitors can also prove registration online with New Stride here.
Competitors will have a choice in three heights (0.75m or 0.9m or 1.0m). The Horse/Rider combination must compete at their division height. If their height is not available they are permitted to compete at the next closest down. There are no restrictions if the horse/rider combination wishes to move up in height. The class will be run in an immediate jump off format (FEI Article 238 Table A, 2.2). Winner will receive a Cooler.
Points will be awarded to the top Horse/Rider combinations. These points will go towards the $500 East-West Series Challenge Bonus for the top point Thoroughbred of 2017 sponsored by Chiefswood Stables. http://chiefswoodaftercareprogram.weebly.com/
