Sharon White is hoping to compete at Blenheim or Boekelo this fall with Wundermaske, and she’s hosting the fifth annual Derby Cross-style schooling competition at her Last Frontier Farm in Summit Point, W.V., this Saturday. Rachael Livermore sent in all the information about what will be happening at JUMP! Across the Pond. Best of all, it’s not too late to enter and support Sharon.

Lots of orange spirit at JUMP 2012!
From Rachael:
Sharon White and Last Frontier Farm are hosting their 5th annual Derby Cross-style schooling competition fundraiser this Saturday, June 29th! What started as a fundraiser to replace a totaled truck and trailer has turned into an annual event to support Sharon’s overseas competition pursuits. This year, it is called JUMP! Across the Pond, and is being held to raise money for Sharon to compete Wundermaske (“Patch”) at either Blenheim or Boekelo. JUMP! is known for its great schooling courses, wonderful atmosphere, and extremely enthusiastic competitors and fans!
Sharon and Patch have been together since he was a naughty 6 year old, bred to be his amateur owner’s dressage horse. Once he figured out how much fun eventing is, he cleaned up his act and hasn’t looked back! Patch is now 10 years old and successfully moved up to Advanced earlier this year, loving every minute of competing at that level. He placed 3rd at the Fair Hill CIC*** and 7th at the Jersey Fresh CCI*** this spring. His favorite things are being the center of attention and hanging his head out the window on trailer rides.
This year’s JUMP! features a silent auction and raffle — with prizes donated by EN sponsors Point Two, Devoucoux, and Tredstep Ireland — with everything from a dive trip in the islands to a breeding to a fabulous warmblood stallion! Vendors will be available with product representatives to answer all of your questions. Every level will have a lead horse (in case your horse wants to follow a buddy), and Sharon will be providing course walks all day. We have levels from elementary to preliminary and will start the day low and build up to encourage moving up a level if you feel confident. Repeat rounds encouraged!
We are very excited to once again have the notorious Brian O’Connor joining us as announcer. We’ve heard he may even bring some boots and britches in addition to his microphone! You really won’t want to miss it … Questions? Email Rachael at [email protected]. We are taking last minute entries! Click here for the entry form: JUMP! Across the Pond Entry Form. Thanks from everyone at Team Orange!
