The Jumping Owners Club (JOC) has launched a website – www.jumpingownersclub.com – to raise awareness of the club and provide members with a single source of news and information.
The JOC was founded in partnership with the FEI in 2004 to recognize the role of the owners in the sport of show jumping, and to provide them with a representative voice. It currently has more than 50 members from around the world, all of whom own horses that compete at a variety of levels.
The JOC is chaired by Christian Baillet, owner of Randgraaf, and notable members include Madeleine Winter-Schulze, owner of Gotha FRH and Coupe de Coeur 2, ridden by Ludger Beerbaum, and Emmanuele Perron-Pette, owner of Kevin Staut’s leading mare Silvana HDC.
The new website aims to provide JOC members with an easy source of up-to-date news, as well as a quick-stop for all event information. Providing a login area, JOC members will be able to indicate their attendance at an event, as well as obtain links for upcoming events’ hospitality and tickets.
The new JOC website will also equip potential new members, and the public, with an outline of the purpose of the JOC and its aims for the future. A full interview with Baillet is also available.
