USHJA Children's and Adult Amateur Jumper Championship

From jumping-off for medals in every section, to sisters celebrating gold and silver, to earning a birthday gold, it was an amazing final day for the individuals competing in the USHJA Zones 3 & 4 Jumper Team Championships at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. From 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. the top contenders in five sections rode for a position on the podium and the competition was fierce. FEI Course Designer Bernardo Costa Cabral of Portugal set Championship-caliber tracks that were challenging but fair, resulting in a jump-off for medals at each height.
