Jackie Henderson of Denfield, ON, emerged as the Eastern Division winner while Sara Dowhey of Winnipeg, MB, topped the standings in the Western Division of the 2012 Jump Canada Emerging Rider Series.
In the $2,500 Eastern Division Emerging Rider competition held at the Summer Classic in Palgrave, ON, Jackie Henderson guided Sandman, Stanley Henderson’s 11-year-old Württemberg gelding, to a seventh place finish for five points. The duo also finished fourth at the Orangeville International, in Orangeville, ON, for an additional six points. They secured their Eastern Division title with a win, for seven points, in the Emerging Rider Class at the Angelstone National Phase 3, held in Rockwood, ON, finishing the season with a total of 18 points.
“I really appreciate the support of Jump Canada through the Emerging Rider Series,” said Jackie Henderson. “Winning the Emerging Rider Award for the Eastern Division was a great accomplishment for Sandman and I. This award will assist me in continuing to show at this level as I complete my degree at the Ontario Veterinary College in 2013.”
