The St. George's 50th Anniversary Celebration:

The management of RMSJ would like to welcome everyone to the 2009 Mid Summer Classics, where we will be hosting the 50th Anniversary Celebration of St. Georges Stables.

 

We have been receiving numerous emails from people inquiring about tickets for the Friday night dinner celebration and dance followed by a fabulous fireworks show. We thought that letting people send their requests in advance would the best way to handle the demand, as the 250 tickets are expected to sell out quickly. If you are planning to attend the celebration, please send an email to party@rmshowjumping.com with your indicated number of tickets, and someone will contact you to arrange the payment details.

 

The tickets for the celebration will be $40.00 each.

Following competition on the opening day, RMSJ will host a exhibitors welcome reception at the neighboring Sirocco Golf Course out on the deck. On Thursday, there will be no competitions in the two jumper rings. Instead, we will host the $25,000 "Derby Day" on the Grand Prix field at St. Georges Stables next door. On Friday evening, following competition, there will be a huge dinner and dance with a live band and fireworks show to celebrate, 'In Style" the 50th Anniversary of St. Georges Stables. And of course back by popular demand will be the different heights Team Cups and Grand Prix's on Saturday and Sunday, with total purses of $50,000 for the four events.

 

The Mid Summer Classic will also be using this tournament as a fundraiser to benefit the Joseph Selinger Foundation in memory of Frank and Selena's son who was tragically taken from us as a two year old, six years ago. Portions of the start fees on Thursday, as well as an auction at the dinner/dance should help us reach our goal of $20,000 to this fine charity that maintains a flower garden and walk at the Alberta Children's Hospital.

Alberta Select Riders:

As part of the growth plans for the Alberta Select Riders program, a new website will be launched shortly you will be able to see the website here and we will inform you when the site is up and running.

One of the goals in the program for future years will be raising funds to assist in sending some of our talented Alberta riders to other venues around the world to gain valuable competition experience. As an initial reconnaissance mission if you will, ASR representatives Brenda Riddell and John Anderson are organizing a trip to Mexico, hopefully with a group of about 15 - 20 fellow Albertans. We are looking to compete in four to five competitions over a six week period in October/November.

More information will be available shortly, and there are already quite a few people that have expressed interest in joining the group. Should you have any interest, please send us an email indicating your interest. All of the tournaments have events from 1.0m all the way to Grand Prix's for the open horses.

Helping to create excellence in the sport!
