Leg two held at Nissan Easter Festival.

The second leg of the Young Horse Performance Series held at Kyalami Park in the Stubbs Arena on 16 April was once again an outstanding success. The huge amount of rain received didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits, and grounds manager Jaap du Randt did an incredible job to ensure that the footing was good so that everyone could jump. The 90 horses entered are a fine testimony to the dedication of our local breeders, who are producing quality sport horses. Holding the show in the Stubbs Arena also triggered memories of David and Charlotte Stubbs, who were instrumental during the introduction of Warmblood sport horses to the South African showjumping scene, originally through Coromandel Stud with the importation of the first Swedish Warmbloods into this country.

Acknowledgements

A very chic Anneli Wucherpfennig, multiple Derby winner and the only rider in the world to have competed at the highest level in eventing, dressage and showjumping, kindly agreed to be one of the Potential Showjumper judges. She has been a wonderful supporter of the series and is always willing to be involved. 2002 South African Derby winner Lynne Piercy was also a Potential Showjumper judge, and had lots of good things to say about the standard of young horses competing and was particularly impressed with the six-year-olds.
