Alberta Select Riders 2010 Trials Completed & Teams Named

Calgary, Alberta - The Management of Rocky Mountain Show Jumping is pleased at this time to announce on behalf of the Alberta Select Riders Program that the 5 trials in the the 2010 ASR program have been completed, and the teams have been named. Congratulations to all of the riders who will be representing the Alberta Select Riders on the four teams at the Spruce Meadows Skyliner in June. CLICK HERE to see the teams!

The riders have been contacted, and a special team building dinner will be held on June 14th to award the team members with their bursaries, team jackets, hats, and saddle pads. The team chefs will also be announced at the dinner.

2010 marks the 8th consecutive year of the Alberta Select Riders Program. The Riddell Family, Anderson Ranch and the ASJA have once again joined forces to co-sponsor the 2010 Alberta Select Riders program. Their generous support continues to ensure this program’s success.

The Alberta Select Riders program is designed to give junior and amateur riders the opportunity to set goals and ultimately live the “team experience.” This provincial program is used as a means of identifying and recognizing up-and-coming junior and amateur riders who demonstrate the ability to be a member of an Alberta Select Team. Each Alberta Select Team will compete at the Junior/Amateur Prix de Nations on the Meadows on the Green at Spruce Meadow’s Skyliner tournament in June 2010. The Junior/Amateur Prix de Nations is designed to mirror the competition format used at Prix de Nations held at an international level around the world.

Rocky Mountain Show Jumping hosts its tournaments at Anderson Ranch in Calgary’s south end, a world-class facility featuring permanent stabling for 300 horses with a main competition grass grand prix field complete with natural obstacles.
