The Jump Canada Hall of Fame was created in 2006 to recognize outstanding contributions to hunter/jumper sport. The Hall of Fame Gala has quickly grown into an annual favourite and has been a sell-out in each of its first five years. Friends and associates will be on hand to present the distinct Hall of Fame awards, making for a very special evening recalling the sport’s greatest memories. Induction and acceptance speeches regularly run the gamut from factual to humorous to poignant.
Tickets are still available at $200 per person and can be purchased individually or in tables of eight.
