Andre Francouer: (1961 - 2008)

The sport of show jumping lost one of its own a on January 9th. Andre Francouer passed away early Wednesday morning, losing his battle with cancer. He will be missed by all in the sport who knew him for his fun loving and kind nature. His love of horses was one of the characteristics of his personality that everyone knew and appreciated.

Happy Trails Andre! We know you will be watching over all of us in the sport!


RMSJ Winter Training Series:

We are pleased at this time to announce that the Prize List and Entry Forms for the 2008 Winter Training Series have been posted to the RMSJ website!

As many of you already know, the format of the Winter Training Series is changing in 2008. With the growth of the tournaments over the past few years, and the introduction of the ASJA Three and Five Star Series, we have decided to host "Just Hunter", and "Just Jumper" weekends for our exhibitors. We feel that by hosting the Winter Training Series in this fashion, we will be able to service the needs of all of our competitors in a better fashion.

ASJA 2008 Membership:

We thought we would send a note to remind all Alberta competitors to renew their ASJA membership for 2008. As most of you know, the ASJA introduced the Five & Three Star Series in 2007. The series does require a declaration by ASJA members, and there is a box to check on the 2008 membership form. There is also a spot on the membership form for riders to declare for the Alberta Select Riders Program. Please take a few minutes to fill out your 2008 ASJA membership, and send it into the address located on the form.

Remember, all RMSJ tournaments are a part of the ASJA Star Series.

Feb 9 - 10 & Mar 29 - 30 Open Schooling Day's:

Rocky Mountain Show Jumping would like to welcome you over to Anderson Ranch for a few days of schooling this winter. With the success of the "Days" last couple of years, and getting the idea from Europe, we have decided to continue sharing the venue with fellow equestrians in order to help with horse and rider development in the Calgary area.

The Schooling days will be run as follows:

• A full jumper course will be set utilizing the entire arena.
• The course will be set at 1.00m with cups in place to go up to 1.40m.
• Jump crew will be in the ring to help with efficiency. (to help raise & lower)
• Trainers can book the ring for one hour if they have between 5 & 8 horses.
• All trainer groups will have priority over individuals.
• Individuals will follow with ½ an hour per horse ring time for their use.

Please email us with your preference as to time and we will do the best to accommodate your needs. All trainers and individuals who contact us will be emailed the ring schedule two days prior to Saturday to make any adjustments that might be needed.

The cost will be $30 per horse. If needed, a stall can be used for an additional $10.
