Equestrian stars complete Jumping World Challenge
Bermuda’s equestrian stars completed the final phase of the 2024 FEI Jumping World Challenge at the National Equestrian Centre on Saturday.
The Challenge offers an individual classification per country and geographical zone in each of the three jumping height categories, with regional and world rankings determined by the best results from two of the three events. The Challenge also offers a team classification per region.
At the end of the event on Saturday the overall Bermuda winners were crowned, with Jaylynn Hines aboard Toto D’ysenbeeck picking up the Aon Trophy for top spot in Category A (1.20–1.30m).
Tyler James, riding Cruise Control, collected the Nightmare Trophy for winning Category B (1.10–1.20m), with Category C (1–1.10m) going the way of Abby Bardgett and Up Up & Away, who scooped the Central Carolina Trophy.
Judging the final phase of the Challenge was FEI Level 2 Judge John Flisk, of the United States and FEI Level 1 Judge Pamela Mahoney, of Bermuda.
Bermuda's competitors have a long wait until January 2025 to receive the final regional standings as competing countries have until December 31 to complete all three phases of the challenge
