President's Cup - Maple Ridge

[millies]

This looks to be a very exciting event this year. They have incorporated additional WB classes including free jumping, foal and potential show jumper competitions. There is also going to be a stallion show.

It is also the first show of the year where the guys jumping in the big classes will have a chance at qualifying for the WEG games in Kentucky next year. The couse builder and lots of judges are sourced from Europe and the big classes will carry a 4* grading from FEI. I think it is going to be very exciting to see that kind of jumping in SA.

So, plan your calendars guys, I think this show will be well worth it in terms of spectator value. It is running from the 26th - 29th of March.

Have you heard who is the Course Designer??

[millies]

It is Bob Ellis from England. He was the course designer at Olympia too, so I am sure his tracks are going to be wonderful to ride. I can't wait.

I saw the courses from Olympia. Nicely deisgned and technical but without too much difficulty.

Good luck Millies, I'm sure you gonna rock!

[millies]

Thanks guys, it was a great show. Courses were big and technical. Bob Ellis(cd) certainly knows how to produce good jumping.
