In the blistering May heat the TTEA held the FEI World Show Jumping Challenge Category C. The competition, held on 7th & 8th May at Hidden Valley Stables, saw 9 of our very best show jumpers pited against each other and eventually riders across the world. The course proved difficult for our riders with only Steven Degheldere and his horse Mr. Big managing to maintain clear rounds throughout. Well done to all our horses and riders for their valiant attempts. The TTEA would like to thank the show jumping committee and all volunteers who spent countless hours ensuring that this show happened and a special thanks to everyone who came out on Mother's day.

After a short break, the TTEA held the FEI World Jumping Challenge on the 10th & 11th July. This competition was created to provide jumping riders with an opportunity to compete on an International level without having to leave their own countries. There are three categories in this competition. The 3 categories are as follows: Category A (1.20m), Category B (1.10m) and Category C (1.00m). For Categories A and B, the complete competition consists of 2 competitions of 2 rounds and for Category C, one competition of 4 rounds over different courses. This year, Mr Alan Wade from Ireland produced the course plans. At the end of the year the team scores from all the participating countries are compared for regional winners.

The TTEA held the Category C competition this year with a record 8 rider and horse pairs. Mrs. Anne-Marie Parravincio, from Barbados, judged the two days of competition held at Hidden Valley Stables, Santa Cruz. The rainy season paused for the competition weekend so that riders, volunteers and spectators were treated to a sunny two days. The weekend ended with a TTEA Classic Show Jumping event for riders not competeing in the FEI event. The international competition proved to be a great challenge for our riders with Sandhya Moll and her mount, Majestic 7, rising to the top. A big congratulations to all of the riders who competed so very well, an even bigger good luck to our team of Sandhya Moll, Steven Degheldere and Cammila Garcia and the biggest thank you to our team of volunteers for making the competition possible!
