 Ledges Sporting Horses will be the venue for the USHJA Children's Adult Amateur Regional Jumper Championships - North Region.
Jumper Spectacular Offers Jumper Divisions and Classics for All Levels
Roscoe, IL - August 23, 2015 – Show manager Patrick Boyle of Showplace Productions, announced a change of venue for the Showplace Jumper Spectacular, featuring the $20,000 USHJA Children’s/Adult Amateur Jumper Championships - North Region, September 2-6, 2015. The event will take place at Ledges Sporting Horses in Roscoe, IL, instead of previously announced Lamplight Equestrian Center. The Showplace Fall Classic, hosting the IHJA A Finals, USEF Zone 5 Horse of the Year Finals, and Marshall & Sterling Midwest Finals scheduled for September 8-13, will still take place at Lamplight Equestrian Center as scheduled.
Boyle added, “Ledges is home to many of the Chicago area riders, who have shown here starting in the pony divisions. Great riders such as Charlie Jayne, Kent Farrington, Quentin Judge, Chris Kappler and Todd Minikus began their careers here as juniors. We made major improvements to the facility this spring from the footing to the fantastic food stand, so we are ready for this national event.”
Boyle lives up to the company name, Showplace Productions, as he usually doesn’t just host a horse show, he makes it a beautiful production and pays attention to detail. Ring decorations, parties, presentations, sponsor events and more, are all details Boyle and his staff are well versed at handling. This National Championship will definitely have a championship feel. The facility welcomes riders from USHJA zones 1,2 and 5 for this North Region Championship.
The Showplace Jumper Spectacular includes all levels of jumpers, jumper classics, and equitation classes. Boyle will be opening up the large grand prix ring all week as the main jumper ring, complete with the new large schooling ring and new footing. FEI course designer, Anderson Lima, (Brazil) will build the technical tracks for the week and the championships.
Boyle has added a complete Children’s/Adult Jumper Division, including classics, for those not qualified for the championships, allowing those riders to have the unique experience of being able to show, watch the championships and participate in all the other activities of the championship.
Wednesday, September 2nd features a $1,500 Open Jumper 1.30m class sponsored by Upper Echelon Academy, schooling jumpers and young jumpers. Thursday has more young jumper classes, the $10,000 Open Welcome Stake sponsored by Nutrena and the USHJA Children’s Adult Jumpers warm up.
