2007 World Cup
Switzerland’s Beat Mandli and Ideo du Thot
Win 2007 Rolex FEI World Cup Title; McLain Ward and Sapphire Lead American
Effort with 8th Place Tie
Las Vegas, Nevada—On the
last day of the 2007 Rolex FEI World Cup for show jumping, it came down to
a battle between the Germans and Swiss. In the end, it was a win for Beat
Mandli and Ideo du Thot, the 11-year-old Selle Francais gelding after
putting in two rounds where they downed only one rail to finish on a score
of five World Cup points. Some 15 nations were represented in the show
jumping World Cup and the roster of international sport stars left the
crowds very happy with amazing rounds of show jumping and enough thrills
and spills to satisfy the most ardent fan.
The leading American going
into the last day was New York’s McLain
Ward and Sapphire, his 12-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare. They entered
the final two rounds of show jumping in fifth place. By the end of the
competition, the pair had dropped to a two-way tie for eighth place (along
with Germany’s Marco Kutscher) after downing two rails to take on eight
faults in the first round and tipping a brick off the wall on the second
obstacle in the second round to add four more. They ended their World Cup
bid with a final score of 15 penalties.

2007 NCAA Varsity Equestrian National
Championships
South Carolina, Texas A&M Win Equestrian National
Championships
WACO , Texas—The University of South Carolina
won its second overall Varsity Equestrian National Championship in three
years at the Heart O’ Texas Fair Complex on Friday.
The Gamecocks
used a third consecutive hunter seat national team title and a national
runner-up finish in western riding to clinch their second overall national
title in three seasons.
“To me this win means a lot more because
this format I think is where we are going as far as an NCAA Championship,”
South Carolina head Coach Boo Snyder said. “Our team was
competitive on both sides. It’s very special to win this. We were a little
worried coming into today because we knew we had won the overall title on
Thursday so we didn’t want everyone to get too carried away with that
coming into the championship rounds on Friday. We really stuck to our guns
and tried to stay organized and focused today and did as well as I think
we could do today.”
The South
Carolina hunter seat team
steamrolled its way to a third straight national title, dropping only four
of its 24 individual match-ups on the way to the title.
Georgia gave the Gamecocks
their biggest test, but still fell by a 6-2 margin. South Carolina riders Nicole Bourgeois,
Lindsay Pace, and Kristen Terebesi competed all week long without dropping
a single match.

The USHJA International Hunter Style Challenge
Program
The USHJA has created a
special committee, named the USHJA High Performance Hunter
Committee, to develop a program that will bring the lost art of
tradition and horsemanship back to the show ring. The result of many long
discussions with some of today’s greatest hunter riders and trainers is
the USHJA International Hunter Style Challenge Program. This committee has
taken the concept a step further and decided to work towards developing a
series of classes that hava the ability to become an international
sensation. The USHJA International Hunter Style Challenge Program was
created to bring show hunters to the international level, to increase
spectator, media, and sponsorship interest, and to bring tradition and
basic riding principles back to the sport of showing hunters.
Throughout the year, USHJA will be promoting the
International Hunter Style Challenge Program. The USHJA extends its gratitude to
the American Hunter-Jumper Foundation (AHJF), a non-profit organization
whose mission is to promote the equestrian sport of hunter competition,
for graciously incorporating many of the program concepts into their WCHR
World Cup Team Hunter Challenge, held at the 2007 FEI World Cup Las
Vegas. Through this venue and
with the help of the AHJF, the USHJA was able to present their concept for
international hunter competition for the first time to a truly
international audience. Be sure to check the USHJA website for more
upcoming member events and additional information about the
program
Don't
miss your chance to see the next event sanctioned by this program
at Canterbury Farm in Chicago, IL on June 9, 2007 during the

specifications and scheduling will be posted on the USHJA

USHJA History Project
USHJA is currently working on a
history project to record the accomplishments of equestrians in the Hunter
and Jumper disciplines. Questionnaires have been sent to those
equestrians who have competed on an Olympic Team, have won an equitation
final or are on the USHJA Board of Directors. Once these
questionnaires have been submitted to USHJA, staff will compile them for a
potential book, as well as to display them in the USHJA Museum, which will
be housed at the USHJA headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky.
If you have received a questionnaire, but have not submitted it,
please complete it and send it to the attention of Christine Kennedy via
e-mail at ckennedy@ushja.org or via fax at (859)
258-9033.
If you have not received your questionnaire and you
have competed on an Olympic Team, won an equitation final or are on the
USHJA Board of Directors, please contact Christine Kennedy at (859)
