Eastern Canadian Free Jumping Championship Proceeding as Planned

After consultation with RCRA officials and careful consideration of independent veterinary advice, the Canadian Warmblood Horse Breeders Association and the Canadian Hanoverian Society have decided that the 2010 Eastern Free Jumping Championship will proceed as planned at RCRA on Sunday, March 28th. There have been no new cases of strangles at RCRA in over four weeks and all their clinics and other competitions are taking place as planned.  The arena and stables used in the competition are well removed from the other barns on the RCRA property and the stalls used are only for horses visiting the facility.  Entries also have the choice to show from their trailers.

The organizing committee is also pleased to announce the two judges for this competition will be Yannick Patron and Kevin Maxie.  Entries should be received by Michael Boyd no later than March 23rd.   Visit www.hanoverianbreedersclub.com for more information.
