Mid Summer Classics & the Innagural C.S.I.E.

RMSJ is pleased to announce the Mid Summer Classics scheduled for July 4-6, and July 9-13. We are also pleased at this time to announce that we have increased the total prize money being offered to over $100,000.

C.S.I.E. (Calgary Show Jumping International Extravaganza)

The Mid Summer Classic II (July 9-13) will be a C.S.I.E. event. As many are aware, an international competition is categorized as a CSI, and one with a Nation's Cup is a CSIO. We at RMSJ decided to put a little twist in the game, and rank our Mid Summer Classic a CSIE.

Some special events to be held at the Mid Summer Classic will include:

	$25,000 1.10/1.20/1.30/1.40m Subway Full Meal Deal Grand Prix
	$10,000 2'6"/2'9"/3'0"/3'3" Horse Sport Grand Prix
	$10,000 1.40m Allied Seismic Open Jumper Welcome
	$10,000 1.10/1.20/1.30/1.40m Bradon Team Cup
	$5,000 2'6"/2'9"/3'0"/3'3" Stoneridge Team Cup
	$5,000 Blue Valley Farms 1.20m Jr/Am (Carried from BVC II)
	$2,500 Bradon Construction 1.10m Jr/Am (Carried from BVC II)

Riders in the Team Cups will make four (minimum three) member teams with one person from each respective height. The event will be a Nation's Cup format with each member competing at his/her height of the same course. The top four or five teams (depending on the total number of teams) will come back for a second round to determine the winning team. Should a jump off be required, a height will be drawn, and the rider from each team in that respective height will do battle to determine the winning team.

The Grand Prix's will be open to all competitors from each respective height level, and the competitors will jump the same course at their respective height. In the Jump Off, the lower height jumpers will be given a small handicap in seconds before they cross the timers to counter the time spent in the air and turning factor being much less for a horse jumping little jumps versus those jumping bigger jumps.

Competitors, please note, that the normal start fee for a $25,000 competition is $400 and for a $10,000 competition is $300. The Start Fees for the Full Meal Deal Grand Prix and the Horse Sport Grand Prix are $285 and $150 respectively. Unlike the upper divisions in the sport, we know that competitors in the lower divisions are not used to paying high start fees, and decided to lower the usual fees to encourage participation in what we believe will be very exciting competitions.

Best of Luck to all Competitors!

Know your Rules:

Last weekend concluded the Spruce Meadows National. John asked that this was posted to the RMSJ newsletter! After competing in the $200,000 CN Grand Prix with four faults and finishing 11th, he found out that he was going to lose his placing, as well as the $2,500 that went along with that placing.

On January 1 of 2008, the FEI came out with a new rule that states that the boots that a horse may wear are not to exceed 500g each. Every horse that competes in these events is subject to a boot and equipment check upon leaving the ring. Each hind boot that he had on his horse was over the 500g, and therefore not legal for the competition.

It goes to show, that everyone can learn something, no matter what their level in the sport. There have been numerous riders this year who have been disqualified from individual classes because of this rule, and the lesson to all from this should be simple. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP UP TO DATE ON THE RULES THAT GOVERN YOUR SPORT.

Thank goodness it wasn't a win in the event, or the loss would have been $66,000.
