The purpose of the Canadian Young Horse Jumper Development Series is to encourage the development
of young show jumping talent and to give Canadian breeders additional incentives to breed superior show
jumping prospects. Competing on a level playing field, the horses are divided according to age and jump
at a level suited to their development. This careful development allows the horses to gain valuable
experience and advance to the higher levels of show jumping competition with confidence. The Canadian
Young Horse Jumper Development Series also gives prospective buyers for the hunter and jumper
markets an opportunity to view a large group of prospects in a competition setting.
