Bermuda's junior riders have qualified for the North American Young Riders Championships to be held in Quebec during August.

Peter Hind and Gina Flood both attained the standard set for the three-day event, while Jill Terceira plans on being the first Bermuda representative in show jumping.

Hind in fact has a choice of rides for the event having qualified on his horse Givenchy late last year and just this past weekend on his other mount, Prime Time.

Meanwhile Flood, who recently won the Young Riders Division at Eglington, will compete on Swizzle Inn and Terceira has the use of a leased horse, Alchemist.

The championships will take place in Bromont, the site of the 1976 Olympic Games.

Bromont was the venue for Hind, Flood and Carol Ann Blackman to test their riding ability over the weekend against stiff foreign opposition. Flood placed sixth in the Open Intermediate Division, one point ahead of Blackman, whose horse Watersmeet appears to have recovered from the problem that forced her withdrawal from an Olympic qualifier recently. Hind rode Prime Time to the 12th spot overall in the CCI Division.

Bermuda national coaching programme director, David Ballard has played a vital part in enabling local youngsters to obtain rides and successfully participate abroad. In addition to helping Terceira, Ballard also arranged horses for Suzette Madeiros and Heidi Mello, who compete regularly in Canada.

The Bermuda Equestrian Federation's annual prize presentation will be held on Sunday at Grotto Bay Hotel starting at 11.30 a.m.

Trophies will be presented to all Championship Division winners in Jumping, Equitation and Hunter as well as awards for the 1991 FEI Samsung Dressage and Show Jumping competitions.

SOCCER SOC A referees course for beginners and all practising referees will run from June 20 to June 27 at Saltus Grammar School's lecture room.

Next Friday there will be a special presentation for referee assessors by Vincent Mauro who is the Director of Referees of the United States Soccer Federation. Mauro recently retired from the list of international referees to take up the post with the USSF. He has had several World Cup appointments, the most recent being the 1990 finals.

Mauro is well known by local referees, having been here before to referee various CONCACAF games. On each occasion he delivered an address to local referees.
