The Jump Cup Initiative has been suspended until further notice due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The Initiative was announced in December 2019 to support EC sanctioned hunter/jumper competitions in complying with a new rule requiring safety cups with breakaway track systems in all competition and warm-up rings. It provides reimbursements of up to $3,000 CAD per competition venue for the purchase of FEI approved jump cups and breakaway track systems.
The suspension of EC sanctioned competition due to COVID-19 has directly impacted the Jumping Levy Program, which funds the Initiative. Those who have already submitted invoices for the 2020 Initiative will still receive reimbursement through previously allocated funds.
