Local Achievers - Show Jumping

 

Show jumping, also known as "stadium jumping" or "jumpers," is a member of a family of English riding equestrian events that also includes dressage, eventing, hunters and equitation. Jumping classes are commonly seen at horse shows throughout the world, including the Olympics. The rules of stadium jumping are very simple - leave the fences up! What makes the test difficult, are the height, width, and combinations of the fences coupled with speed. Horses must be extreme athletes with stamina, scope, and intelligence. The partnership with the rider must be one of trust on both parts.
