CALLING ALL GREEN HORSES!

Have you ever dreamed about a competitive experience especially designed to give your

very green horse a chance to look around and dip his toe in the water without the stress

and expense of doing a full fledged event or combined test? Your wish may be answered!

On the last day of the Wayne Eventing Derby, Sunday, April 15, an innovative Derby

Within a Derby will be offered alongside the last jumping phase of the Eventing Derby.

This judged test will be run in one of the side dressage rings ar Lamplight and will

consist of a very elementary Dressage test and 4 or 5 low fences. There is plenty for a

green horse to look at in the big feeling atmosphere at Lamplight so the actual tests will

be super simple. Entry fees will be under $40, stalls will be available for the day at $25,

and there will even be modest cash prizes.

This mini-competition is open only to horses who have never competed anywhere in any

discipline – youngsters. OTTB’s and the like.

Entries for the Derby open on March 20. New this year, in addition to the Derby

Within a Derby, is the Jockey Clun Thoroughbred Incentive Program award which

will offer $100 to the highest placed Thoroughbred in the Novice and Beginner

Novice Divisions. Information and entry forms are available on the Derby website

www.mauijimhorsetrials,org, and details about the mini Derby will also be posted

on this website as soon as they are worked out. For additional information, email
