The H/J Show Team is Jumping for Joy

The WWU Jumping Derby is a fall horse show on the outside course at WWU. Traditional hunter classes start the day off and culminate with the feature event on the hunter schedule, the Back to Our Roots Hunter Classic. Following the Hunter classes, Jumper competition includes the famous Rotating Rider Pairs class and of course the High and Low Jumping Derbies. Fabulous prizes be awarded to the winners of each class, division championships, and the winners of each of the featured classes on the day's schedule. This year's Derby will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2009.

The Derby is organized and managed by the WWU H/J Show Team and their faculty sponsor, Dr. Linda McClaren. The Show Team puts on a number of fundraising events throughout the academic year. Proceeds from these events contribute to Show Team members' ability to participate in a nationally recognized horse competitions with WWU show horses.

The Derby has grown a little each year, with many "outside" horses joining the WWU students and horses for a friendly competition. There is often a nice audience composed of not only friends and families of competitors, but also members of the Fulton community who just come out to enjoy an afternoon of show jumping.
