Claire Howard To Compete In Guatemala
One of Bermuda’s top equestrian competitors will be participating next week in the final of the FEI World Jumping Challenge to be held in Guatemala City from December 6th to 10th 2011.
Claire Howard won the right to represent Bermuda in this prestigious event by finishing second behind a rider from the Dominican Republic in our area which comprises the Caribbean and North America.
The top two riders from each of the ten FEI groups in the world are invited to this annual event which is hosted by the local Federation and they get to ride on borrowed horses allocated by a random draw.
This is Ms Howard’s third time at this event having competed last year in Guatemala when she finished fifth overall, and the year previous in Santiago, Chile. She will be accompanied by her coach Dawn Fox.
There will be riders from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Africa competing in the event.
