Competitors from 10 different geographical zones compete over identical jumping courses designed, this year, by Jaime Morillo of Ecuador.
“In addition to a Regional Team ranking, the competition provides for an Individual ranking per Country, per Region and for the World for all 3 jumping height categories [Cat. A 1.20 – 1.30m Cat. B 1.10 – 1.20m and Cat C. 1.00 – 1.10m].”

“Although three separate competition events are held, only the results of the best two competitions per category will count towards the final rankings.

“This event promises to be exciting and spectators are encouraged to support and cheer our local riders as they compete against riders from around the globe. There is no admission charge.
