Jumper Shows in Calvert

[Eventer29]

Who might be interested in doing some jumper schooling shows in Calvert county? We are possibly looking at doing some shows at Country Haven, or at Riverview Stables in Prince Frederick. The divisions would be X rails, 18"-2', 2'3"-2'6", 2'9"-3', 3'3"-3'6" and maybe 4' if there was enough interest. classes will be power and speed and time first j/o (table II sec. 2(b)) and there will be an add back class in each division but the X rails.
We will also be doing our regular schooling shows at Riverview. Those will offer Western, Leadline, Trail, english Eq and pleasure, hunter o/f, jumper and speed (barrels, poles etc.)classes. We don't have dates set quite yet, just trying to see who may be interested.

We are also looking into Kings Landing for the jumper shows. We will still do our reg open schooling shows withthe variety of classes at Riverview since we have the indoor. But may do the jumper shows either at Country Haven or Kings Landing. Kings Landing has plenty of parking, is easily accessable, and has a nice ring.

I think the facility at Country Haven is better suited for Jumper classes. The size of the ring, and footing make it very desirable. Whats nice is their neighbor allowed adjacent property for parking and turn around of larger trailers bringing clients in. They have a great handle on the driveway/road entering in to the property although the drive is narrow to allow trailers and vehicles coming and going. I see that this years program is offering better classes for the rated jumpers to attend. I heard many good feed back from the chessie show that was attended last year. Its nice to see height for jumping geared for those riders.

Eventer if you are able to put on some shows at Kings Landing might benefit your Frostbite series. Let us know what you decide to do I know folks ask for winter riding shows to keep the horses prepped for hunting and show season.

Honestly...How many people are going to actually ride in the jumper classes? Not just talk about it but actually pre-enter, show up, and ride in the classes. I have tried to accomodate the jumper riders but when it really came down to it, few people showed up to do it. I can't imagine that it would be worth all of the time and effort of putting on a jumper show for 5 people. I speak from experience. Good luck! Hopefully you will have better luck than I did. Even at MSA and SMHA their doesn't seem to be a lot of jumper rider support.

I would honestly take part. I really need to get out this fall/winter and there don't seem to be many places close by that appeal to higher jumper riders (or atleast none that I have found so far).
