The Hagyard Equine Medical Institute--the Official Veterinarian of Horse Shows by the Bay--is sponsoring a new $10,000 Leading Jumper Rider Cash Bonus Award for the Horse Shows by the Bay Hunter/Jumper series, July 3-28 in scenic Traverse City, Michigan.
"Our partnership with Horse Shows by the Bay over the past five years has delivered us a unique opportunity to provide veterinary service to our growing sport horse clientele, while also supporting an outstanding summer horse show series," said Dr. Stuart Brown, Partner, Hagyard Equine Medical Institute. "For 2013, we are thrilled to increase our sponsorship level to provide the Hagyard $10,000 Leading Jumper Rider Bonus in addition to our continued role as Official Show Veterinarian."
The $10,000 Hagyard Leading Jumper Rider Cash Bonus Award will be presented to the top-three riders who accumulate the most points in the weekly $10,000 Open Jumper Welcome Prix and the weekly $30,000 Show Jumping Grand Prix. The awards of $5,000, $3,000 and $2,000 will be distributed after the conclusion of the $30,000 D-BRAIDER Cherry Capital Classic Grand Prix, July 27th.
"We are so thankful to have the Hagyard Equine Medical Institute step up with this generous cash award for our jumper riders," said Alex Rheinheimer, Horse Shows by the Bay owner and show manager. "This bonus will add a wonderful exclamation point to the new jumper offerings we're debuting on this year's schedule. With ongoing support from our valued sponsors such as Hagyard, we're able to improve our show each year and provide even more opportunities and prizes for our exhibitors."
