Zionsville, IN- April 12, 2012- Enjoy the best of all worlds when you show at Traders Point Hunt Charity Horse Show (TPHCHS). Set in the countryside of Zionsville, IN, just outside of Indianapolis on a sprawling, 250-acre facility, this show allows you to relax and enjoy the surroundings while still competing against the best in the business.
One of TPHCHS Saturday highlights includes the $15,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby. The exciting hunter action is scheduled to take place at 2:00 pm. Honorary chair and host, Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson spent her life showing hunters and serves as Master of the Traders Point Hunt. Johnson is thrilled to host the tradition of horsemanship and excellence that exemplifies the Hunter Derby, to TPHCHS.
Serious hunter competitors put TPHCHS on their show schedules, to earn qualifying points for the International Hunter Derby Finals and to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and exceptional customer service for which the show is known. Prize lists are now available online at: http://www.stadiumjumping.com
“It is such a nice environment for the horses to be living and showing in. The facilities are wonderful, and showing in an open grass field, over a beautiful derby course is something that I look forward to during the show season,” shared top hunter trainer, Kelley Farmer. “I have now won the derby twice, and I truly think that my horses are happy because the atmosphere is so serene, so it allows for me to show content horses. When one of my horses has a day off, I take them on a nice walk on the hunt trails. We will undoubtedly be going back for years to come.”
Farmer and partner, Larry Glefke, trainer and owner of Lane Change Farm in Keswick, VA, not only have won two Traders Point hunter derbies, but they recently won the $50,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby at the FTI Winter Equestrian Festival on April 1, 2012, with Taken. Last year Farmer piloted Bases Loaded to the tricolor honors at TPHCHS.
“Traders Point is the perfect example of what shows used to look like, and how they should be now. The set-up is great, and the management does a splendid job of keeping everything organized and calm. I have been showing at Trader Point since 1975, and it has always been a favorite,” said Glefke
TPHCHS is a summer destination event. Located on the beautiful 250-acre grounds of Wild Air Farms in Zionsville, IN, the show offers top prize money with two Grand Prix events and a USHJA International Hunter Derby. Exhibitors at TPHCHS enjoy fun family activities and events while participating in a competitive, high-quality show. This year’s TPHCHS is scheduled for August 7-12, 2012
