JUMP!  Into the Journey to Blenheim, England
A Day of Jumping, Fun, and Fundraising
To Benefit Sharon White of Last Frontier Farm

WHAT

.: A Day of Fun and Fundraising:.

This two-phase JUMP! Event is a combination of stadium jumping and cross country jumping all in one!  Divisions will range from Elementary to Preliminary running from lowest levels to highest to encourage opportunity to practice moving up. Points are awarded based on nearness to optimum time. Each second over the optimum time costs a point and the rider with the lowest score is the division winner.  Refusals at any one fence, add an additional 20 points to your score, any rails or knock downs, add 4 points to your score. All horse and rider teams will have the opportunity to lower their score by 4 points by attempting a “bogey” fence at the end of their round.  Ties will stand.  Riders who spend more than double the optimum time on course will be asked to retire.  This event includes course walks with Sharon before each division to discuss best practices of both stadium jumping and cross country!  Entries are on a first received basis. Space limited - enter early. 

Divisions offered are as follows:
Elementary - no jumps to exceed the height of 18”
Baby Novice - jumps 2’
Beginner Novice - jumps 2’ 6”
Novice - jumps 2’ 11”
Training - jumps 3’ 3”
Preliminary - jumps 3’ 7”
