Sunrise Junior Horse Hunter Challenge
Wednesday, February 14, 2024
*We are in desperate need of a way to promote the cultivation of hunters and I feel this would be an exciting concept to get young hunters and professionals in the ring to market them and bring more value to our hunt division.*
Classes will be held at shows throughout the calendar year. The class will be called The Sunrise Junior Horse Hunter Challenge open to American Saddlebred horses 4 and under and shown by an Amateur or professional. Each class throughout the year will be a $350 class with the entry fee for each class being $50 which will be added back in to the class payout. Sunrise Stables will provide the class sponsorship for the first 25 shows that hold the class. Any show can have this class if they find sponsorship after the first 25 shows. Sunrise Stables will provice the ribbons and trophies for each class (if outside sponsorship can be obtained for these classes it is encouraged). Each show will be responsible for paying out the prize money. Payouts will be 40%,20%,15%, 10%, 10%, 5% for each class. If less than 6 horses are in the class money not paid out will be divided evenly amongst ribbon winners.
Show management must contact Melissa Moore and provide shipping information for the ribbons, trophies and sponsorship payment. 859-533-6225 [email protected]
Class points will be tabulated throughout the year using the Saddle Horse Report Point System. The final show of the year will be the Ocala International Horse Show. The high point winners will be announced after the class is completed. If the winners are in attendance they will be recognized. The payouts and awards will be sent to all those not in attendance. Sunrise Stables will provide the sponsorship of $5000 with additional prize money being added from sponsors and additional prizes. Freedman Harness will award the high point winner a Freedman Hunt Bridle and Saddle Horse Report will award the 1st and 2nd place high point winner a full page ad. Payouts will be 40%, 20%, 15%, 10%,10%, 5%. Additional sponsors and prizes will be added.
