Thunderbird Summer Fort Classic – August 11 – 16, 2015

We brought most of the crew to the beautiful Thunderbird Showpark in Langley, BC to show for two weeks at the Summer Fort Classic and the Summer Fort Festival. The first week offered an enormous amount of money for the upper-level jumpers, including the $126,000 CSI3* Longines FEI World Cup Qualifier. During the WCHR-sanctioned second week, a $2,500 USHJA Derby was offered as well a $15,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby held in the Grand Prix field.
