form to be eligible.
Nutrena Ice Cream Social – Nutrena will be hosting an old fashion Ice Cream
Social under the Nutrena Tent on Sunday and Monday at approximately 3:00pm
each day. Ice cream will be served with your favorite toppings and whipped cream!
Low Training and Lead Rein Demonstration Class - Last year, by popular
request, the Finals Committee offered a new section to the show – a Lead Rein
Demonstration Class, which is being offered again this year.
In keeping with the goal of our Finals to encourage and promote interest in the
beginner and intermediate classes for members, this year the Finals Committee
decided to offer a demonstration of another increasingly popular discipline on our
circuit – Jumpers.
Therefore, there will be a Jumper Demonstration Class for the starter level jumper
division in the CHSA organization. The top ten point getters in the Low Training
Jumper section are being invited to participate in a Jumper Demonstration class on
Monday August 24. This class will take place in the Westbrook Hunt Club Grand
Prix arena and the fences will be at the starter level – not to exceed 3’0”. This will
be an exciting opportunity for spectators and other exhibitors to watch the total
coordination of horse and rider as they try to not only clear the fences on a very
complicated, serpentine-like course, but also beat the clock.
Our hope is this demonstration class will generate excitement so that next year Low
Training Jumpers will return as a Qualified Division!

Club Horse show on Sunday, August 23, 2009, please visit
