“The creation of the Jump Canada Hall of Fame to celebrate the heroes of our sport rekindled many memories and began a dialogue within the horse community regarding other possible candidates and their achievements,†noted Mark Samuel, Chair of the Jump Canada Hall of Fame. “The nomination process gives our membership an opportunity to share their stories about those who have made our sport special, and to put forward their suggestions for future inductees.”
