EFA Youth Development Jumping Squad selection series
Olivia Hamood, Randlab Nero
As part of the selection process for the National Youth Development Squad a two competition selection series was conducted in each State between 01 July and 20 December 2008. The riders have been ranked according to their performance and the leading twelve riders are listed below.
In principle, the National Young Rider Jumping Squad will comprise up to 20 riders; however, this may vary from time to time. The squad will be selected based on general and competition criteria as below.
It is intended the selection of the Squad will comprise of:
1 The current Australian Young Rider Champion
2 Eligible Young Riders selected on the National Senior Squad
3 Up to 12 riders selected under the Competition Criteria
4 6 riders selected under the General Criteria (see below).
General Criteria
Given that at any stage of the competition criteria riders may for any reason not be able to participate, each State may nominate an additional rider for consideration by the National Jumping Selection Panel.
It is intended that the respective State Jumping Selection Panels will nominate an eligible rider it considers a worthy member of the Squad.
Members of this squad are, in principle, talented individuals who are identified as riders who produce consistent levels of performance and achievements in Jumping classes of 1.30m and better. The development of these riders will ensure they are able to move to senior competition with a professional and guided background.
In total 112 riders took part in the selection competitions.
The squad will be announced on the 26 January 2009

Round 6 was the Gatton Show Grand Prix which was won by local rider Clem Smith & Dark Ages. In second place was Randlab Caponne ridden by Paula Hamood of Kilcoy making a great return to the showjumping arena after having her fourth child.

Qld State Championships 25 - 28 July 2008
PRESS RELEASE - Friday program CANCELLED!
Please be advised that the Showjumping Committee has made the tough decision to move the program indoors for this weekend’s State Championships. The main arena is still water logged, and with the World Cup show next weekend, it is better to preserve the footing as much as possible. Saturday is likely to run into the night, but not many other options are available now…
The prizemoney has been pooled into the two remaining classes for each section. The State Champion will still be decided from the results from both classes.
Any enquiries can be directed to Alison Ford on 0419646737.
