Tampa, FL—Competition in the 2010 Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series continued to grow more intense during the month of February. With classes still in full swing at the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) in Wellington, riders continue to earn points on the series' overall standings.
One such rider is Chloe Wormser of Northbrook, IL. Wormser, who competes in the Series' East Conference Amateur-Owner division with her mount Udiana, finished in second place in two of the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series amateur-owner classes held at WEF in February.
With Cavalor's support, the series honors one rider each month as the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series Rider of the Month. The honor goes to the one rider who earns the most points on one horse in series competition that month.
With her back-to-back second place finishes with Udiana, Wormser earned 230 points, and was named the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Rider of the Month for the month of February.
"We would like to congratulate Chloe on earning our Rider of the Month Award," said Philippe Collard, President of Cavalor, Inc. "Her success in the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series is very impressive, and we wish her the best of luck as the Series continues!"
The Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series saw competition at five events during the month of February, and will see classes at more than 100 horse shows before the series culminates in the year-end championships at the National Horse Show in November.
The series hosts separate divisions for junior and amateur-owner riders in two conferences-the East conference and the West conference. Series standings are used to help determine junior and amateur-owner entries for the National Horse Show.
In the overall standings through February, Charlie Jacobs and Quidditch II led the amateur-owner standings in the East conference while Heather Hooker and Perle led in the junior division. Series events in the West conference will begin in March.
