Seven National Championships
(Continued from Page A 1)
2—Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey The victors in
1997. The young riders compete
for individual titles on Thursday
and Friday, October 8 and 9.
The Junior Jumper champi
onship precedes by one day the
American Horse Shows
Association/Eisers and Pessoa
National Hunt Seat Equitation
Medal Championship, which
will celebrate its golden anniver
sary in 1998. More than two
hundred of the country's top
young riders under age 18
endure a grueling day of compe
tition and advanced tests over
fences as they are judged on
their horsemanship and control.
The field is slowly narrowed
until a handful of finalists are
given a final test, which may be
as difficult as jumping a chal
lenging course without coaching
and on a horse they've never
before ridden.
The prize is the medal that
recognizes the best young rider
in the country. The list of riders
who have won over the past 50
years reads like a who's who of
American equestrian sports,
many of whom have gone on to
represent the US international
ly in Olympic and World Cup
competition.

Pennsylvania National. Created
by the Master of Foxhounds
Association in 1995, the champi
onship will be held during Hunt
Night, sponsored by Mellon

The championship tests the abil
ity of hunt staff to execute the
four traditional melodies that
communicate to hunters spread
over a wide area the movement
of the hounds in the hunt field.
A new national title for pro
fessional jumper riders will be
held for the first time on Friday
evening, October 16. The North
American League Open Jumper
Speed Series $25,000
Championship, presented by
Baron Farms, showcases top
professional riders on the true
speedsters of the open jumper
ranks —those who jump high
and go fast. Riders have quali
fied for the finals by competing
successfully throughout 1998
over fences 4'9" high at shows
from Florida to Ontario and in
