~*Welcome*~
~*Opening Ceremony*~
~*Statistics*~
~*Results Schedual*~
Welcome to the 2002 Royale Classic Jumper Show. Throughout the following days you will be dazzled with incredible performances given by the best Jumper Horses in Wish Horse. The competition you are about to see is quite clearly the most rigorous and challenging of any show held before.
Last year's Classic was indeed spectacular however this year's Classic is statistically more incredible. We have almost twice the number of horses entered in this year's event as well as many new trainers, riders and horses competing.
At the judges stand for the next few days will be a panel of 3 judges including some of the wisest and most honorary rider's in Jumper history. They include Ian Miller (CANADA), Leslie Burr Howard (USA) and Rodrigo Pessoa (BRAZIL).
If any problems arise, WH's Super Center Vet Clinic will be available 24 hours a day. With around 200 horses participating at the event we can only expect that some may end up going home lame or a few rider's may have some bad falls. Therefore, we also have a few ambulence's and certified EMT's on board. The RTS staff will assist you with any medical problems that may possibly arise.
As the head of the RTS Event Committee, I ask that you please follow the rules during the show and respect other participants by obeying the following:
+Please keep all dogs on a leash at all times
+Smoking is allowed however we ask that you please refrain from smoking in the barns or in the arena
+Three schooling rings are available on grounds. We ask that you please spend only as much time needed in the rings and allow everyone a chance to warm up prior to the show.
+A photo ID is required when entering any stable ground areas. They have already been shipped to your stables and must be worn at all times in order for you to enter stabled areas. This is to ensure the safety of your horses. We will also have staff regulating many areas of the show grounds to make sure everything is in order and safe.
Hungry? Why Wait? Joey's By The Shore will be set up on the main hill in front of Barn A all day long and will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Bevals Saddlery has two large vans set up on opposite sites of the grounds in case you forgot that special peice of equipment. They will be open from 6AM to 6PM on each show day.
There are many other festivites that will be happening throughout the course of the week. We encourage you all to join us at the end during an Awards Ceremony Luncheon.
Therefore, without anymore hast I welcome you and your stable to the finest Show you'll ever attend!
Sincerely,
Brooke J. Goldsman

Green Jumper Statistics:
A total of 52 horses entered
Out of those 52, there were 24 different owners
Weather and Show Update:
A gorgeous new day arrives at RTS as the 2nd Annual Royale Jumper Classic begins to unravel.
Throughout the past few days stables have been making their way to the grounds and have been unloading some of the most promising new Champions of the future.
A few days ago the Opening Ceremony was held followed by a spectacular luncheon. Almost every competitor was seen there and we did happen to see a few new faces and a few old faces as well.
Today as the sun began to rise, stable hands were sen running all over the place. Neighs and whinnies were becoming louder as more horses began to wake up.
Around 6AM the weather was a little bit chilly but the sun was definately starting to come out of its hiding. We spotted a well-known Stable banner in the far distance and walked up to the entrance of stable area R12 also known as October Springs. Instantaneously we were greeted by Liz Smith-head hunter/jumper trainer and stable owner. As we talked for a bit Ms. Smith discussed her tactics for the day and how "Speed and balance are definitly going to be essential in the competition. We're going to have to cut corners and make the tight turns as fast as possible to be in contention of the blues, but we're truly just going to go out their in the best way we can."
She later gave us her feelings towards who she thought wod be mega competition for todays events: "All of the owners, stables, and horses out their are pretty stiff competition wise, but there's a few that stick out. I'm a bit worried about Foxwood with their Spot The Difference, Wind Song's WS Alaiyo, Hunter's Moon, and RTS (of course . I think we'll be able to hold our own though. OS Calligraphy and OS All That Jazz have been awesome in their past few shows, and we're really expecting them to do well."
And there's no doubt that OS is going to add incredibly to the weight of competition today for they have always brought amazing horses to RTS events!
Around 6:30AM a few horses were actually being warmed up in the ring including Distant Thunder owned by Snowcrest Ridge. Lexi Talley was onboard warming up this gorgeous stallion who seemed to be misbehaving a bit.
I smiled and watched as Lexi replied "he tends to get stallionish before shows."
After she worked him into the bit Distant Thunder began to calm down a bit.
"I don't expect to win, but showing amongst such awesomely talented horses is a great learning experience, no matter how high up you place. If I had to pick the best out of all my green jumpers, I'd say Fire In Paradise has the most raw talent. He's a beautiful gelding by the amazing Kimberwick's Wildfire, and I'm hoping to see a good, clean performance from him today. I think every horse entered is going to be tough competition in their own way. The classic draws in the best, and that's just what my horses will be competing against. If they don't win, hey, at least I can say they still ran with the big boys."
After a wonderful discussion with Lexi, RTS reporters walked over to the other schooling ring where Sunni was seen lunging her horse MV Calysta. She remarked how well things were going and that her stables hands and vet care staff were all situated nicely on grounds. She than discussed more of her feelings towards todays events and remarked how "My green jumpers have been doing really well in there mock timed runs so hopefully it has prepared them for the competition here today." As she kept lunging Calysta she smiled and said, "I think Calysta will shine today. She has been doing awesome in training and w/ some of WH's best jumping bloodlines she has it all packaged together. Color, Style, Power, Speed, and the will to win here today."
She continued to lunge the magnificant mare who was looking better than ever.
7:30AM rolled around and the smell of breakfast began to waft through the ar as Joey's By The Shore shot up in full gear with a line swelling up already.
Trainer's stood all around running to get this and that ready for the 9AM call.
Already the schooling rings were packed with horses. RTS's immense ground space made it easy for the vast 52 class to warm up saftely.
Sweet Talkin Chip owned by Fire Song Stables was rearing a bit and kept refusing his warm-up jumps.
Carmen owned by Amber C looked a little bit jittery and continued to spook at the sound of the loudspeaker.
RTS's A Winning Touch was chipping a few jumps and seeme a bit uptight today.
LF Sheer Silverleaf was looking spectacular during his warm up and seemed to be in his own world and focusing hard on what he was doing.
All-in-all the "greenies" were shaking out their butterflies and were beginning to focus hard on the most challenging event of their lives.
8:15AM came by quickly and it seemed as though many people were anticipating the start of the show. Surprisingly we had only had around two falls during warm-up which were very minor and both riders were just fine.
The first course is posted not only on a few bulletins around grounds and the rings but also on our huge 40ft tv screen that was previously displaying sponser ads.
Trainer's and rider's are informed when they are to ride their first jumper course as well.
Some rider's untack their horses and lead them back to their stalls knowing they have a good two hours until their ride.
First up on course looks like it's going to be RTS's own Take Five followed by Legacy Farms MV Rising Star. Jade was funny in remarking "how did I know they would pick me to go so soon! Out of 52 horses I get picked to go 2nd!"
The day was long and the sights were unforgettable. We had some horrible spills and some amazing clear rounds. All-in-all it was the battle of a century and now we have a new Champion in our midst.
9:05AM rolls around and Brooke J. Goldsman announces the beginning of the show. The day went by and we were left with a new Champion that is surely going to lead us in the future!

*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 GREEN JUMPER CLASSIC CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
Fifty-Two horses later and this horse just comes out and steals the win by a mile! Where did this horse come from? Last year this girl was entered the Green Jumper Division and placed 12th and 9th just missing the cut to move on. After a dissapointment last year I have a feeling that this mare underwent some extensive training throughout the rest of the year.
As a 6yo Thoroughbred, she's definately speedy and has had a good two year's of shows under her belt. She definately kicked butt today and showed all the boys that girls can definately overcome!
Sired by Sublime and raised by mare Melody she brings new lineage that is now going to be explored in depth by interested viewers.
Again congratulations to this new AMAZING Champion! We definately expect to hear about her much more after such an incredible performance today!

#2.Ch.Banana Split owned by Cindy Anderson
*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 GREEN JUMPER CLASSIC RESERVE CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
Ice Cream anyone? After such a spectacular performance today, Banana Split definately deserves all the ice cream he can eat! Placing 3rd out of 52 horses in the first jumper class was amazing! This guy than managed to place 3rd in the 1st flat phase and than 2nd in the last flat phase! This boy really stepped up today and was very strong coming in and out of the comptition.
At one point, Ian Miller pointed out his fine balance and his willing personality- both of which definately enabled this horse to perform so incredibly today. BRAVO!
But there's more...Banana Split is a Perlino QH! Weird or what? He's not to be missed! Normally shown in a mixture of hunter and jumper classes, this boy came out today and really gave it his all which was more than enough to grab the reserve champion trophy!

#3. Skys The Limit owned by Sam
*Notes*
Seen in plenty of SJA and RTS shows, Skys The Limit definately gave everyone a show today! This 17hh Canadian Sportshorse soared over the jumps today and really left room to spare! Son of OS Vertically Challanged there's no wondering where he gets so much of his talent from. His mother is also a very well known Grand Prix Jumper- Skylar has been seen in numerous jumper events all over the place. With such lineage he's definately got what it takes to go far! All-in-all a thrilling performance given by a spectacular 4 year old!

#4. Kamakazzie owned by Legacy Farms
*Notes*
A gorgeous pinto colored American/Irish Warmblood shows us that colored horses do have it all! This gorgeous stallion had a beautiful airy look to him and seemed to ride very lightly. He never really fought his rider but actually let his rider move him up to the jump. His framework over the jumps were also spectacular. Son of RTS Wahlen he definately proves himself a worthy green jumper and a rising star.
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 25pts
New Butet Saddle
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$17,000 Prize Money

*Notes*
Another foal by RTS Wahlen (foaled out of mega show horse Ima Black Jaguar) this gorgeous girl performed brilliantly today. She has incredibly footing and really nailed those sharper turns. On the 2nd Jumper Phase she recieved the quickest time by at least 10 seconds. She's fast-determined and a true jumper all around!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 20pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$15,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#6.OS Calligraphy owned by October Springs
*Notes*
I really didn't realize that most of these foals are sired by one particular stallion...but here's another sired by RTS's own Wahlen out of last year's 2001 Adult Jumper Classic Champion OS Shoot The Moon. This amazingly colorful mare has been performing beautifully this year in the green jumper classes. She's worked extremely hard to get here andhas definately shown what she's capable of.
Known to be a tough ride- 22yo Liz Smith gave it her all and really rode her beautifully today. Liz seemed to be very consistant all-throughout and really did a fine job especially when taking her over harder jumps such as #6 where many horses found trouble. A smart ride and a wonderful outcome for a dazzling young horse!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 15pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$12,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal(Pictured Below)
#7.Renegade owned by Micky
*Notes*
A magnificant performance today by such an under-rated horse! Sold from the SJA (by former owner Tara A.) with word of extreme potential for the future, Renegade wasn't sold for quite a while until Micky came by and decided to give this boy a chance. Lo and behold he came out of his shell laughing at everyone who passed him up!
Renegade's parentage is unknown but there's no doubt that he definately inherted some wonderful traits. As a gelding in WH it's sad that he won't be able to produce offspring however I am sure he's going to be around for a long time and will definately be back next year for revenge!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 10pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$10,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#8.Take Five owned by Royale Touch Stables
*Notes*
We were really happy to find even one horse in the top ten today especially considering the amount of horses and talent out there today. Perhaps he had an advantage showing at home. But whether it was that or not he performed incredibly today and realy grabbed everyone's attention.
Take Five is an amazing horse sired by RTS Coast To Coast a well known Grand Prix Jumper now owned by Autumn and foaled out of La Luna a spectacular mare sold to us from Cindy.
Take Five is a rising star for RTS and is truly a spectacular stallion. He's really proven himself in the past and is an extremely mature horse for his age. He's past the spooking and the fighting and is really becoming a fine jumpe like his father. This boy is going places and we can't wait to watch him perform succesfully elsewhere!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 10pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
New personalized lead shank
$7,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#9.Spot the Difference owned by Foxwood Farm (no points but 9th placer overall)
*Notes* Well well! Last year's Green Jumper Classic Champion returs for more and tries to defend his title! Not enough to reclaim his title again but who cares? He placed 9th out of 52 and that's a huge success in itself!
This boy came out there today with quite crowd. Stepping into the ring people cheered and smiled as camera's flashed wildly. Everyone rememebered his spectacular performance last year and were anticipating his performance this year.
He did really well in the 2nd jumper phase and managed to pull a 5th as is best placement overall. He had great form, wonderful footing and if he were just a tad bit faster-could have really pulled it off!
PRIZES:
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
New personalized lead shank
$5,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#10.WS Alaiyo owned by Wind Song Stables (no points but 10th placer overall)
*Notes*
A horse whose been doing really well all year just stepped up a gear and grabbed a top 10 spot in this amazing division. Sired by OS Vertically Challanged he's the second top 10 Charlie foal. What's more is that this horse's mother happens to be hot hot stuff...before WH "Asia" was quite the showmare and basically won everything. In WH she sort of retires as one of the best broods you can expect to find. Therefore this guy definately has strong parentage!
This big 17hh 5yo was another hot jumper who definately suprised us when he left the ground a bit early during a few jumps but still cleared them with room to spare. A really good horse who seems happy to jump and be out there and who proved to be quite the horse!
PRIZES:
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
New personalized lead shank

Final Word
Well today was definately a littl bit stressful for most. Fifty two competitors took to the ring today to strut their stuff. We had a few bad falls today and it seems like there were a few jumps that really got the best of some horses.
This year's competition was extremely tough. Please understand that it was really difficult to place in the top 10 so if you did it's a huge honor. If not don't be sad because A. It was a very tough competition and B. there's always next year!
The show ended and the winners entered the ring and were awarded with their prizes and photos were taken. The Grand Champion was led to a spot under a tree near some bushes where she was awarded with her trophy and ribbons. Tara A was interviewed by reporters everywhere. We will post some of that interview later.
Cindy Anderson was also being photographed in another corner and was being handed her Reserve Champion trophy.
After the interviews, the trophies were taken back to be personalized and to be re-distributed during the awards ceremony at the end of the Classic.
The day was definately eventful and was one that won't be forgotten for a long time.
Congratulations again to all of the top 10 placers who performed briliantly.
Our next show is definately going to be exciting as well. Expect to hear from the Committee board via e-mail about current news topics around the barn!
*NOTE*: I may have called a stallion she, or a mare he because I was basing my reports on whether I thought the name was for a boy or a girl sometimes. I have over 1000000000 e-mails full of entries lol it would have taken 3 hours just to get the genders of the horses here I do not know. Therefore please accept my apologies if I mixed up your horses gender at all!
Below are a few ads presented by RTS in honor of the show. Please take the time to look at them!

Children's Jumper Statistics:
A total of 35 horses entered
Out of those 35, there were 16 different owners
Weather and Show Update:
Another day as we continue to go head first into the Classic. Today's weather was somewhat different. The morning started out extremely cold around the 60's and the sun didn't rise until about 7:17AM.
Around 7AM RTS's news crew set out to view the day's competition. First seen was Micky schooling her 5yo Thoroughbred Stallion Micky Mouse. She was schooling him lightly in the field and trotted up to talk to us. We asked her how she felt about MM and his chances here today. Mickey responded, "I really enjoy riding him because he has spirit and because he is so cool. I am not so sure we can win but I am almost positive that he can't place because he doesn't have as much experience as some of the others."
But you never know! The classic definately brings out the best in underrated horses!
Micky than went on to remark "I am looking forward to seeing the Pony Jumpers and the $200,000 Grand Prix. Although I have no horses in the two divisions, I will be on the sidlines cheering everyone on. I am hoping my pony Ch. Chile will place well also."
After that discussion Micky quickly went off to school her horse some more.
We walked up to RTS's main barn to grab some coffee and were greeted by Brooke J. Goldsman who was busy fixing some of the braids in Caliente's mane while he just stood quietly on the cross ties.
Brooke saw us and welcomed the crew to come and chat. We asked her what she expected from today's events in which she remarked, "Well it's hard to say. Exclusive Tide is only 4yo but he's mature beyond his years. He's the type of horse who would carry a baby on his back and walk blindfolded without spooking. But he's also still young and somewhat ignorant so we'll see. Dilaika is a bit older and she actually won the class last year under her old owner. She's been showing off and on lately and has actually been foaling a few jumpers. She may not be too cut out for the heavy competition today but you never know. SOS Case Dismissed was recently sold to Aia of COTD and we think she'll give everyone a run for their money. Our real competitor here today is this boy right here, Caliente. He showed in the Green Jumper Division last year and placed 6th overall so we're hoping he'll kick butt today. As for horses we're nervous about...hmmm..hard to say. There are a lot of horses in the division today that I haven't really seen before so it will be interesting."
7:30AM and the crew headed over to Foxwood Farms stabling area where Fiona was seen grooming Livin In Paradise, their only contender for today's event. when discussing Paradise Fiona responded, "Livin' in Paradise is a great mare, and I like to think that all of Foxwood's horses will stand out just because of their excellent training but in a high class competition like this its not that easy. I don't know, Paradise is a stunning children's ride and is used in almost only Children's Hunter or Jumper classes so she knows her stuff, she has beautiful paces on the flat, and is a very well-mannered little mare, and goes stunningly over fences. Her rider, Emma Pritchard is very experienced as well, and rides Paradise stunningly, better than me infact, they should go well together, but only time will tell. But today I'm most worried about Caliente, Dilaika and OS Whismical, I have seen Caliente and OS Whismical do stunningly at shows in the past and Dilaika was obviously last year's winner so we know she is fully capable of taking on the best. Also they are all trained by RTS or OS, which always produce horses that can't be discounted from any competition."
When asked how she felt about this year's classic Fiona responded, "It just gets bigger and bigger doesn't it!!! I love this show, was definately last year's jumping highlight and its just huger this year!! I'm loving it! I don't even care about winning this year, just taking part is amazing!" After that great note we left to decend down to the schooling rings where things were starting to look pretty busy.
8AM came by really fast and the schooling rings were already packed with horses. HMH Lady Wreath owned by Autumn was limping incredibly in the front so she jumped off and brought her to the Vet Center where she was declared lame and unable to show. Luckily Autumn has a few good contendor's left in this division.
8:25AM Smooth Sailing owned by OS is viewed jumping a 3'9ft vertical- much higher than any other jumps we'll be seeing on course today. Liz explained that by jumping him higher she was prepping him mentally so that the highest jumps on course of 3'6ft would look like nothing. It seemed to work as Smooth Sailing finished a nice warm up course and was then led back to their stabling grounds.
8:45AM and most rider's are learning the course that was just posted.
MV California Sun owned by Sunni of Mystic Visions was chosen as first on course. Sunni didn't seem bothered by this at all and jumped a few more warm up verticals and oxers in the schooling ring before the beginning of the show.
9AM and RTS Events Committee announces the start of the Children's Jumper Classic Division.

*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 CHILDREN'S JUMPER CLASSIC CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
WOW WOW WOW!!! Here's a horse who has really been conditioning for this event for a long time. She was originally born and trained at RTS until she was purchased by Foxwood Farms where they really took her to the next level. Sired by Times Square (standing at SSF) and foaled out of Topica (previously owned mare at RTS) this girl has quite the different heritage.
Her rider Emma Pritchard has really taken her to the top competing in other events such as the SJA's Opening show placing 2nd in the 1 Metre Members Cup. She also placed well in a few other events prior to the classic.
Today this girl stepped out and showed us what she was made of. Her rider is definately hard-core and someone to watch out for in the future!
Therefore congrats to our 2002 Children's Jumper Classic Champions!

*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 CHILDREN'S JUMPER CLASSIC RESERVE CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
Very shocking for RTS but our first major placing of the Classic and so early into the show as well! We were vey pleased that Caliente really pushed himself to the limits here today!
Ridden by 17yo Kerri Goldsman, sister to Brooke J. Goldsman and 1999 National Champion Equitation Rider, there was no doubt that these two were a killer team here today.
As a second year returner, and having the advantage of showing on home grounds, Caliente was more than ready for today's competition.
This 5yo Thoroughbred/Trakhener is sired by Your Honor (EASC) and foaled out of our best mare Truth. he's been making his parents proud now for quite some time and has been doing spectacularly in past shows.
Quite a remarkable performance from this horse today and there's no doubt that we're going to see him much more in the future!

#3. MV Coastal Challenge- Owned by Mystic Visions
*Notes*
Coastal Challenge is a gorgeous Holsteiner/Thoroughbred Mare sired by RTS Coast To Coast (now owned by Autumn) and foaled out of (ARS) Bring it On.
Today we saw quite a performance from this horse. Her dressage skills are unbelievable and definately supported her third placing here today. She's known to get a bit off track sometimes so Sunni keeps her on a very different type of training schedual so she doesn't stay bored and is constantly challenged.
Today she gave us a brilliant performance that I expect to see in the following months to come!

*Notes*
A horse who is one to definately watch out for! Sired by IHa. Common Spirits foaled out of WCh. Innocence Mission, she's definately a rising star!
Known to be a very confident horse, Spirit took no fear in today's course. She handled the jumps like a pro and really nailed the sharper turns.
This 6yo 17hh Canadian Sportshorse is older, taller and possibly a bit more mature than some of the other horses in todays division. She's got incredible training under her belt which definately flared openly today. A wonderful performance and a very inspiring rising star!

#5. Nightmoor- Owned by Sammy
*Notes*
Quite a shocking performance given by this SIXTEEN YEAR OLD 14.2hh Dales Pony Mare!!! Who would have thought? After a great run in last year's Pony Jumper Division, Nightmoor's owner Sammy decided to step her up a bit to play with the big boys (literally lol). And she was fantastic! Still healthy and strong, this wise girl definately soared over the course today. Her height gave her an advancement time wise for she was able to keep great footing during sharper turns.
Sired by Loch Ness Monster foaled out of Mists of Irish Vale she brings new lineage to the WH world that may end up being explored in the future.
Great job here today!

*Notes*
HMH Starry Night really put in a wonderful performance, being one of the few Ariegeois' here in WH she really represented her breed and owner well.

Final Word
Today's event seemed more predictable compared to the Green Jumper Division. We saw a lot of well-known horses place well.
The course today was definately more challenging than yesterday's however I am happy to report that we did not have as many accidents/falls or disqualifications as last time.
Livin In Paradise was definately the horse to watch today. She took to the course like a real champion and out-jumped many rising stars.
The next division to be held is the Adult Jumper Clasic Division. It will definately be a division to look forward to as some of the best adult rider's and trainers compete head to head for the win.
Today went by very well. The crowd at RTS as increased by almost twice as many as there was on the day of the Green Jumper Division. New fun events are being held including raffles and the RTS newsletter has been the talk of the week with many new areas of interest including discussions on sales, past events, future events, publications and more. The newsletter is only sent to entrants of the Classic however if you wish to recieve the letter as well please contact Wiley66@aol.com
Two champions down and so many left to be crowned with the greatest victory they can ever recieve...time will only tell who wil be next to recieve such an honor. In the meantime, enjoy the fun & games (and the food of course lol) and join us as the 20002 RTS Jumper Classic continues!
*NOTE*: I may have called a stallion she, or a mare he because I was basing my reports on whether I thought the name was for a boy or a girl sometimes. I have over 1000000000 e-mails full of entries lol it would have taken 3 hours just to get the genders of the horses here I do not know. Therefore please accept my apologies if I mixed up your horses gender at all!
Below are a few ads presented by RTS in honor of the show. Please take the time to look at them!

Weather and Show Update:
Today's weather was unfortunately unexpected. We had a major down pour that started late at night around 1AM and continued throughout the following day until about 5PM. Unfortunately our news crew was unable to make rounds due to the heavy rainfall therefore no interviews were made. However the following is what did occur in the morning:
Around 7AM many horse were taken out of their stalls and were tacked up early to be brought to RTS large Olympic sized indoor ring. (pic seen below)
Many people wer running around frantically trying to get their barns together and their horses in tact. The rain was falling pretty hard now and the sound of the rain falling on the roof of the ring was pretty loud.
Some horses took to the noise pretty badly and had to have their ears stuffed.
Other horses went on as though nothing was going wrong at all.
The outdoor stabling areas were kept dry due to the four wall water proof material covering the stall area.
Around 8:30AM all horses were in the indoor ring awaiting the start of the show.
9AM rolled around and the Adult Jumper Division was schedualed to run on time!

As the competitin increases, I urge everyone to pay attention to the top 10 horses parentage. It's there to help everyone see what wonderful breedings have been fulfilled in the past and what has worked now in the future.
All-in-all a great great divisin here today! Everyone seemed to be quite pleased with their horses and their placings!
Soon to come- 2002 Pony Jumper Division- one of the most exciting and welcoming divisions in the show series!
*NOTE*: I may have called a stallion she, or a mare he because I was basing my reports on whether I thought the name was for a boy or a girl sometimes. I have over 1000000000 e-mails full of entries lol it would have taken 3 hours just to get the genders of the horses here I do not know. Therefore please accept my apologies if I mixed up your horses gender at all!
Below are a few ads presented by RTS in honor of the show. Please take the time to look at them!

~*Welcome*~
~*Opening Ceremony*~
~*Statistics*~
~*Results Schedual*~
Welcome to the 2002 Royale Classic Jumper Show. Throughout the following days you will be dazzled with incredible performances given by the best Jumper Horses in Wish Horse. The competition you are about to see is quite clearly the most rigorous and challenging of any show held before.
Last year's Classic was indeed spectacular however this year's Classic is statistically more incredible. We have almost twice the number of horses entered in this year's event as well as many new trainers, riders and horses competing.
At the judges stand for the next few days will be a panel of 3 judges including some of the wisest and most honorary rider's in Jumper history. They include Ian Miller (CANADA), Leslie Burr Howard (USA) and Rodrigo Pessoa (BRAZIL).
If any problems arise, WH's Super Center Vet Clinic will be available 24 hours a day. With around 200 horses participating at the event we can only expect that some may end up going home lame or a few rider's may have some bad falls. Therefore, we also have a few ambulence's and certified EMT's on board. The RTS staff will assist you with any medical problems that may possibly arise.
As the head of the RTS Event Committee, I ask that you please follow the rules during the show and respect other participants by obeying the following:
+Please keep all dogs on a leash at all times
+Smoking is allowed however we ask that you please refrain from smoking in the barns or in the arena
+Three schooling rings are available on grounds. We ask that you please spend only as much time needed in the rings and allow everyone a chance to warm up prior to the show.
+A photo ID is required when entering any stable ground areas. They have already been shipped to your stables and must be worn at all times in order for you to enter stabled areas. This is to ensure the safety of your horses. We will also have staff regulating many areas of the show grounds to make sure everything is in order and safe.
Hungry? Why Wait? Joey's By The Shore will be set up on the main hill in front of Barn A all day long and will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Bevals Saddlery has two large vans set up on opposite sites of the grounds in case you forgot that special peice of equipment. They will be open from 6AM to 6PM on each show day.
There are many other festivites that will be happening throughout the course of the week. We encourage you all to join us at the end during an Awards Ceremony Luncheon.
Therefore, without anymore hast I welcome you and your stable to the finest Show you'll ever attend!
Sincerely,
Brooke J. Goldsman

Weather and Show Update:
A gorgeous new day arrives at RTS as the 2nd Annual Royale Jumper Classic begins to unravel.
Throughout the past few days stables have been making their way to the grounds and have been unloading some of the most promising new Champions of the future.
A few days ago the Opening Ceremony was held followed by a spectacular luncheon. Almost every competitor was seen there and we did happen to see a few new faces and a few old faces as well.
Today as the sun began to rise, stable hands were sen running all over the place. Neighs and whinnies were becoming louder as more horses began to wake up.
Around 6AM the weather was a little bit chilly but the sun was definately starting to come out of its hiding. We spotted a well-known Stable banner in the far distance and walked up to the entrance of stable area R12 also known as October Springs. Instantaneously we were greeted by Liz Smith-head hunter/jumper trainer and stable owner. As we talked for a bit Ms. Smith discussed her tactics for the day and how "Speed and balance are definitly going to be essential in the competition. We're going to have to cut corners and make the tight turns as fast as possible to be in contention of the blues, but we're truly just going to go out their in the best way we can."
She later gave us her feelings towards who she thought wod be mega competition for todays events: "All of the owners, stables, and horses out their are pretty stiff competition wise, but there's a few that stick out. I'm a bit worried about Foxwood with their Spot The Difference, Wind Song's WS Alaiyo, Hunter's Moon, and RTS (of course . I think we'll be able to hold our own though. OS Calligraphy and OS All That Jazz have been awesome in their past few shows, and we're really expecting them to do well."
And there's no doubt that OS is going to add incredibly to the weight of competition today for they have always brought amazing horses to RTS events!
Around 6:30AM a few horses were actually being warmed up in the ring including Distant Thunder owned by Snowcrest Ridge. Lexi Talley was onboard warming up this gorgeous stallion who seemed to be misbehaving a bit.
I smiled and watched as Lexi replied "he tends to get stallionish before shows."
After she worked him into the bit Distant Thunder began to calm down a bit.
"I don't expect to win, but showing amongst such awesomely talented horses is a great learning experience, no matter how high up you place. If I had to pick the best out of all my green jumpers, I'd say Fire In Paradise has the most raw talent. He's a beautiful gelding by the amazing Kimberwick's Wildfire, and I'm hoping to see a good, clean performance from him today. I think every horse entered is going to be tough competition in their own way. The classic draws in the best, and that's just what my horses will be competing against. If they don't win, hey, at least I can say they still ran with the big boys."
After a wonderful discussion with Lexi, RTS reporters walked over to the other schooling ring where Sunni was seen lunging her horse MV Calysta. She remarked how well things were going and that her stables hands and vet care staff were all situated nicely on grounds. She than discussed more of her feelings towards todays events and remarked how "My green jumpers have been doing really well in there mock timed runs so hopefully it has prepared them for the competition here today." As she kept lunging Calysta she smiled and said, "I think Calysta will shine today. She has been doing awesome in training and w/ some of WH's best jumping bloodlines she has it all packaged together. Color, Style, Power, Speed, and the will to win here today."
She continued to lunge the magnificant mare who was looking better than ever.
7:30AM rolled around and the smell of breakfast began to waft through the ar as Joey's By The Shore shot up in full gear with a line swelling up already.
Trainer's stood all around running to get this and that ready for the 9AM call.
Already the schooling rings were packed with horses. RTS's immense ground space made it easy for the vast 52 class to warm up saftely.
Sweet Talkin Chip owned by Fire Song Stables was rearing a bit and kept refusing his warm-up jumps.
Carmen owned by Amber C looked a little bit jittery and continued to spook at the sound of the loudspeaker.
RTS's A Winning Touch was chipping a few jumps and seeme a bit uptight today.
LF Sheer Silverleaf was looking spectacular during his warm up and seemed to be in his own world and focusing hard on what he was doing.
All-in-all the "greenies" were shaking out their butterflies and were beginning to focus hard on the most challenging event of their lives.
8:15AM came by quickly and it seemed as though many people were anticipating the start of the show. Surprisingly we had only had around two falls during warm-up which were very minor and both riders were just fine.
The first course is posted not only on a few bulletins around grounds and the rings but also on our huge 40ft tv screen that was previously displaying sponser ads.
Trainer's and rider's are informed when they are to ride their first jumper course as well.
Some rider's untack their horses and lead them back to their stalls knowing they have a good two hours until their ride.
First up on course looks like it's going to be RTS's own Take Five followed by Legacy Farms MV Rising Star. Jade was funny in remarking "how did I know they would pick me to go so soon! Out of 52 horses I get picked to go 2nd!"
The day was long and the sights were unforgettable. We had some horrible spills and some amazing clear rounds. All-in-all it was the battle of a century and now we have a new Champion in our midst.
9:05AM rolls around and Brooke J. Goldsman announces the beginning of the show. The day went by and we were left with a new Champion that is surely going to lead us in the future!

*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 GREEN JUMPER CLASSIC CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
Fifty-Two horses later and this horse just comes out and steals the win by a mile! Where did this horse come from? Last year this girl was entered the Green Jumper Division and placed 12th and 9th just missing the cut to move on. After a dissapointment last year I have a feeling that this mare underwent some extensive training throughout the rest of the year.
As a 6yo Thoroughbred, she's definately speedy and has had a good two year's of shows under her belt. She definately kicked butt today and showed all the boys that girls can definately overcome!
Sired by Sublime and raised by mare Melody she brings new lineage that is now going to be explored in depth by interested viewers.
Again congratulations to this new AMAZING Champion! We definately expect to hear about her much more after such an incredible performance today!

#2.Ch.Banana Split owned by Cindy Anderson
*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 GREEN JUMPER CLASSIC RESERVE CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
Ice Cream anyone? After such a spectacular performance today, Banana Split definately deserves all the ice cream he can eat! Placing 3rd out of 52 horses in the first jumper class was amazing! This guy than managed to place 3rd in the 1st flat phase and than 2nd in the last flat phase! This boy really stepped up today and was very strong coming in and out of the comptition.
At one point, Ian Miller pointed out his fine balance and his willing personality- both of which definately enabled this horse to perform so incredibly today. BRAVO!
But there's more...Banana Split is a Perlino QH! Weird or what? He's not to be missed! Normally shown in a mixture of hunter and jumper classes, this boy came out today and really gave it his all which was more than enough to grab the reserve champion trophy!

#3. Skys The Limit owned by Sam
*Notes*
Seen in plenty of SJA and RTS shows, Skys The Limit definately gave everyone a show today! This 17hh Canadian Sportshorse soared over the jumps today and really left room to spare! Son of OS Vertically Challanged there's no wondering where he gets so much of his talent from. His mother is also a very well known Grand Prix Jumper- Skylar has been seen in numerous jumper events all over the place. With such lineage he's definately got what it takes to go far! All-in-all a thrilling performance given by a spectacular 4 year old!

#4. Kamakazzie owned by Legacy Farms
*Notes*
A gorgeous pinto colored American/Irish Warmblood shows us that colored horses do have it all! This gorgeous stallion had a beautiful airy look to him and seemed to ride very lightly. He never really fought his rider but actually let his rider move him up to the jump. His framework over the jumps were also spectacular. Son of RTS Wahlen he definately proves himself a worthy green jumper and a rising star.
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 25pts
New Butet Saddle
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$17,000 Prize Money

#5.MV Calysta owned by Mystic Visions
*Notes*
Another foal by RTS Wahlen (foaled out of mega show horse Ima Black Jaguar) this gorgeous girl performed brilliantly today. She has incredibly footing and really nailed those sharper turns. On the 2nd Jumper Phase she recieved the quickest time by at least 10 seconds. She's fast-determined and a true jumper all around!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 20pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$15,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#6.OS Calligraphy owned by October Springs
*Notes*
I really didn't realize that most of these foals are sired by one particular stallion...but here's another sired by RTS's own Wahlen out of last year's 2001 Adult Jumper Classic Champion OS Shoot The Moon. This amazingly colorful mare has been performing beautifully this year in the green jumper classes. She's worked extremely hard to get here andhas definately shown what she's capable of.
Known to be a tough ride- 22yo Liz Smith gave it her all and really rode her beautifully today. Liz seemed to be very consistant all-throughout and really did a fine job especially when taking her over harder jumps such as #6 where many horses found trouble. A smart ride and a wonderful outcome for a dazzling young horse!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 15pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$12,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal(Pictured Below)
#7.Renegade owned by Micky
*Notes*
A magnificant performance today by such an under-rated horse! Sold from the SJA (by former owner Tara A.) with word of extreme potential for the future, Renegade wasn't sold for quite a while until Micky came by and decided to give this boy a chance. Lo and behold he came out of his shell laughing at everyone who passed him up!
Renegade's parentage is unknown but there's no doubt that he definately inherted some wonderful traits. As a gelding in WH it's sad that he won't be able to produce offspring however I am sure he's going to be around for a long time and will definately be back next year for revenge!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 10pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
Set of new shipping wraps in you barn colors
$10,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#8.Take Five owned by Royale Touch Stables
*Notes*
We were really happy to find even one horse in the top ten today especially considering the amount of horses and talent out there today. Perhaps he had an advantage showing at home. But whether it was that or not he performed incredibly today and realy grabbed everyone's attention.
Take Five is an amazing horse sired by RTS Coast To Coast a well known Grand Prix Jumper now owned by Autumn and foaled out of La Luna a spectacular mare sold to us from Cindy.
Take Five is a rising star for RTS and is truly a spectacular stallion. He's really proven himself in the past and is an extremely mature horse for his age. He's past the spooking and the fighting and is really becoming a fine jumpe like his father. This boy is going places and we can't wait to watch him perform succesfully elsewhere!
PRIZES:
Horse receives total of 10pts
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
New personalized lead shank
$7,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#9.Spot the Difference owned by Foxwood Farm (no points but 9th placer overall)
*Notes* Well well! Last year's Green Jumper Classic Champion returs for more and tries to defend his title! Not enough to reclaim his title again but who cares? He placed 9th out of 52 and that's a huge success in itself!
This boy came out there today with quite crowd. Stepping into the ring people cheered and smiled as camera's flashed wildly. Everyone rememebered his spectacular performance last year and were anticipating his performance this year.
He did really well in the 2nd jumper phase and managed to pull a 5th as is best placement overall. He had great form, wonderful footing and if he were just a tad bit faster-could have really pulled it off!
PRIZES:
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
New personalized lead shank
$5,500 Prize Money
Placing Medal (Pictured Below)
#10.WS Alaiyo owned by Wind Song Stables (no points but 10th placer overall)
*Notes*
A horse whose been doing really well all year just stepped up a gear and grabbed a top 10 spot in this amazing division. Sired by OS Vertically Challanged he's the second top 10 Charlie foal. What's more is that this horse's mother happens to be hot hot stuff...before WH "Asia" was quite the showmare and basically won everything. In WH she sort of retires as one of the best broods you can expect to find. Therefore this guy definately has strong parentage!
This big 17hh 5yo was another hot jumper who definately suprised us when he left the ground a bit early during a few jumps but still cleared them with room to spare. A really good horse who seems happy to jump and be out there and who proved to be quite the horse!
PRIZES:
New Grooming Box with associated brushes ect.
New personalized lead shank

Final Word
Well today was definately a littl bit stressful for most. Fifty two competitors took to the ring today to strut their stuff. We had a few bad falls today and it seems like there were a few jumps that really got the best of some horses.
This year's competition was extremely tough. Please understand that it was really difficult to place in the top 10 so if you did it's a huge honor. If not don't be sad because A. It was a very tough competition and B. there's always next year!
The show ended and the winners entered the ring and were awarded with their prizes and photos were taken. The Grand Champion was led to a spot under a tree near some bushes where she was awarded with her trophy and ribbons. Tara A was interviewed by reporters everywhere. We will post some of that interview later.
Cindy Anderson was also being photographed in another corner and was being handed her Reserve Champion trophy.
After the interviews, the trophies were taken back to be personalized and to be re-distributed during the awards ceremony at the end of the Classic.
The day was definately eventful and was one that won't be forgotten for a long time.
Congratulations again to all of the top 10 placers who performed briliantly.
Our next show is definately going to be exciting as well. Expect to hear from the Committee board via e-mail about current news topics around the barn!
*NOTE*: I may have called a stallion she, or a mare he because I was basing my reports on whether I thought the name was for a boy or a girl sometimes. I have over 1000000000 e-mails full of entries lol it would have taken 3 hours just to get the genders of the horses here I do not know. Therefore please accept my apologies if I mixed up your horses gender at all!
Below are a few ads presented by RTS in honor of the show. Please take the time to look at them!

Children's Jumper Statistics:
A total of 35 horses entered
Out of those 35, there were 16 different owners
Weather and Show Update:
Another day as we continue to go head first into the Classic. Today's weather was somewhat different. The morning started out extremely cold around the 60's and the sun didn't rise until about 7:17AM.
Around 7AM RTS's news crew set out to view the day's competition. First seen was Micky schooling her 5yo Thoroughbred Stallion Micky Mouse. She was schooling him lightly in the field and trotted up to talk to us. We asked her how she felt about MM and his chances here today. Mickey responded, "I really enjoy riding him because he has spirit and because he is so cool. I am not so sure we can win but I am almost positive that he can't place because he doesn't have as much experience as some of the others."
But you never know! The classic definately brings out the best in underrated horses!
Micky than went on to remark "I am looking forward to seeing the Pony Jumpers and the $200,000 Grand Prix. Although I have no horses in the two divisions, I will be on the sidlines cheering everyone on. I am hoping my pony Ch. Chile will place well also."
After that discussion Micky quickly went off to school her horse some more.
We walked up to RTS's main barn to grab some coffee and were greeted by Brooke J. Goldsman who was busy fixing some of the braids in Caliente's mane while he just stood quietly on the cross ties.
Brooke saw us and welcomed the crew to come and chat. We asked her what she expected from today's events in which she remarked, "Well it's hard to say. Exclusive Tide is only 4yo but he's mature beyond his years. He's the type of horse who would carry a baby on his back and walk blindfolded without spooking. But he's also still young and somewhat ignorant so we'll see. Dilaika is a bit older and she actually won the class last year under her old owner. She's been showing off and on lately and has actually been foaling a few jumpers. She may not be too cut out for the heavy competition today but you never know. SOS Case Dismissed was recently sold to Aia of COTD and we think she'll give everyone a run for their money. Our real competitor here today is this boy right here, Caliente. He showed in the Green Jumper Division last year and placed 6th overall so we're hoping he'll kick butt today. As for horses we're nervous about...hmmm..hard to say. There are a lot of horses in the division today that I haven't really seen before so it will be interesting."
7:30AM and the crew headed over to Foxwood Farms stabling area where Fiona was seen grooming Livin In Paradise, their only contender for today's event. when discussing Paradise Fiona responded, "Livin' in Paradise is a great mare, and I like to think that all of Foxwood's horses will stand out just because of their excellent training but in a high class competition like this its not that easy. I don't know, Paradise is a stunning children's ride and is used in almost only Children's Hunter or Jumper classes so she knows her stuff, she has beautiful paces on the flat, and is a very well-mannered little mare, and goes stunningly over fences. Her rider, Emma Pritchard is very experienced as well, and rides Paradise stunningly, better than me infact, they should go well together, but only time will tell. But today I'm most worried about Caliente, Dilaika and OS Whismical, I have seen Caliente and OS Whismical do stunningly at shows in the past and Dilaika was obviously last year's winner so we know she is fully capable of taking on the best. Also they are all trained by RTS or OS, which always produce horses that can't be discounted from any competition."
When asked how she felt about this year's classic Fiona responded, "It just gets bigger and bigger doesn't it!!! I love this show, was definately last year's jumping highlight and its just huger this year!! I'm loving it! I don't even care about winning this year, just taking part is amazing!" After that great note we left to decend down to the schooling rings where things were starting to look pretty busy.
8AM came by really fast and the schooling rings were already packed with horses. HMH Lady Wreath owned by Autumn was limping incredibly in the front so she jumped off and brought her to the Vet Center where she was declared lame and unable to show. Luckily Autumn has a few good contendor's left in this division.
8:25AM Smooth Sailing owned by OS is viewed jumping a 3'9ft vertical- much higher than any other jumps we'll be seeing on course today. Liz explained that by jumping him higher she was prepping him mentally so that the highest jumps on course of 3'6ft would look like nothing. It seemed to work as Smooth Sailing finished a nice warm up course and was then led back to their stabling grounds.
8:45AM and most rider's are learning the course that was just posted.
MV California Sun owned by Sunni of Mystic Visions was chosen as first on course. Sunni didn't seem bothered by this at all and jumped a few more warm up verticals and oxers in the schooling ring before the beginning of the show.
9AM and RTS Events Committee announces the start of the Children's Jumper Classic Division.

#1. Livin' In Paradise- Owned by Foxwood Farm
*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 CHILDREN'S JUMPER CLASSIC CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
WOW WOW WOW!!! Here's a horse who has really been conditioning for this event for a long time. She was originally born and trained at RTS until she was purchased by Foxwood Farms where they really took her to the next level. Sired by Times Square (standing at SSF) and foaled out of Topica (previously owned mare at RTS) this girl has quite the different heritage.
Her rider Emma Pritchard has really taken her to the top competing in other events such as the SJA's Opening show placing 2nd in the 1 Metre Members Cup. She also placed well in a few other events prior to the classic.
Today this girl stepped out and showed us what she was made of. Her rider is definately hard-core and someone to watch out for in the future!
Therefore congrats to our 2002 Children's Jumper Classic Champions!

#2. Caliente- Owned by Royale Touch Stables
*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2002 CHILDREN'S JUMPER CLASSIC RESERVE CHAMPION!!!!
*Notes*
Very shocking for RTS but our first major placing of the Classic and so early into the show as well! We were vey pleased that Caliente really pushed himself to the limits here today!
Ridden by 17yo Kerri Goldsman, sister to Brooke J. Goldsman and 1999 National Champion Equitation Rider, there was no doubt that these two were a killer team here today.
As a second year returner, and having the advantage of showing on home grounds, Caliente was more than ready for today's competition.
This 5yo Thoroughbred/Trakhener is sired by Your Honor (EASC) and foaled out of our best mare Truth. he's been making his parents proud now for quite some time and has been doing spectacularly in past shows.
Quite a remarkable performance from this horse today and there's no doubt that we're going to see him much more in the future!

#3. MV Coastal Challenge- Owned by Mystic Visions
*Notes*
Coastal Challenge is a gorgeous Holsteiner/Thoroughbred Mare sired by RTS Coast To Coast (now owned by Autumn) and foaled out of (ARS) Bring it On.
Today we saw quite a performance from this horse. Her dressage skills are unbelievable and definately supported her third placing here today. She's known to get a bit off track sometimes so Sunni keeps her on a very different type of training schedual so she doesn't stay bored and is constantly challenged.
Today she gave us a brilliant performance that I expect to see in the following months to come!

*Notes*
A horse who is one to definately watch out for! Sired by IHa. Common Spirits foaled out of WCh. Innocence Mission, she's definately a rising star!
Known to be a very confident horse, Spirit took no fear in today's course. She handled the jumps like a pro and really nailed the sharper turns.
This 6yo 17hh Canadian Sportshorse is older, taller and possibly a bit more mature than some of the other horses in todays division. She's got incredible training under her belt which definately flared openly today. A wonderful performance and a very inspiring rising star!

#5. Nightmoor- Owned by Sammy
*Notes*
Quite a shocking performance given by this SIXTEEN YEAR OLD 14.2hh Dales Pony Mare!!! Who would have thought? After a great run in last year's Pony Jumper Division, Nightmoor's owner Sammy decided to step her up a bit to play with the big boys (literally lol). And she was fantastic! Still healthy and strong, this wise girl definately soared over the course today. Her height gave her an advancement time wise for she was able to keep great footing during sharper turns.
Sired by Loch Ness Monster foaled out of Mists of Irish Vale she brings new lineage to the WH world that may end up being explored in the future.
Great job here today!

*Notes*
HMH Starry Night really put in a wonderful performance, being one of the few Ariegeois' here in WH she really represented her breed and owner well.

Final Word
Today's event seemed more predictable compared to the Green Jumper Division. We saw a lot of well-known horses place well.
The course today was definately more challenging than yesterday's however I am happy to report that we did not have as many accidents/falls or disqualifications as last time.
Livin In Paradise was definately the horse to watch today. She took to the course like a real champion and out-jumped many rising stars.
The next division to be held is the Adult Jumper Clasic Division. It will definately be a division to look forward to as some of the best adult rider's and trainers compete head to head for the win.
Today went by very well. The crowd at RTS as increased by almost twice as many as there was on the day of the Green Jumper Division. New fun events are being held including raffles and the RTS newsletter has been the talk of the week with many new areas of interest including discussions on sales, past events, future events, publications and more. The newsletter is only sent to entrants of the Classic however if you wish to recieve the letter as well please contact Wiley66@aol.com
Two champions down and so many left to be crowned with the greatest victory they can ever recieve...time will only tell who wil be next to recieve such an honor. In the meantime, enjoy the fun & games (and the food of course lol) and join us as the 20002 RTS Jumper Classic continues!
*NOTE*: I may have called a stallion she, or a mare he because I was basing my reports on whether I thought the name was for a boy or a girl sometimes. I have over 1000000000 e-mails full of entries lol it would have taken 3 hours just to get the genders of the horses here I do not know. Therefore please accept my apologies if I mixed up your horses gender at all!
Below are a few ads presented by RTS in honor of the show. Please take the time to look at them!

Weather and Show Update:
Today's weather was unfortunately unexpected. We had a major down pour that started late at night around 1AM and continued throughout the following day until about 5PM. Unfortunately our news crew was unable to make rounds due to the heavy rainfall therefore no interviews were made. However the following is what did occur in the morning:
Around 7AM many horse were taken out of their stalls and were tacked up early to be brought to RTS large Olympic sized indoor ring. (pic seen below)
Many people wer running around frantically trying to get their barns together and their horses in tact. The rain was falling pretty hard now and the sound of the rain falling on the roof of the ring was pretty loud.
Some horses took to the noise pretty badly and had to have their ears stuffed.
Other horses went on as though nothing was going wrong at all.
The outdoor stabling areas were kept dry due to the four wall water proof material covering the stall area.
Around 8:30AM all horses were in the indoor ring awaiting the start of the show.
9AM rolled around and the Adult Jumper Division was schedualed to run on time!

As an older horse, this 15yo Holsteiner shows that the old men still have what it takes to rule the world!

#10. River Bay owned by Coyle Hill Farm (no points but 10th placer overall)
*Notes*
River Bay put in a really strong performance. River Bay definitely will be a top contender for the future after a strong performance here today. It takes talent to beat 29 of the best jumpers around and all ten of these horses had it as well as class.
This 6yo Thoroughbred mare is sired by Without A Paddle and foaled out of Bay View.

Final Word
Today was definately a great day despite the poor weather conditions. So far we had the least amount of disqualifications in this round compared to the others.
Horses were kept dry and happy and everyone soon got used to the sound of rain on the roof.
We had a spectacular performance by many new horses here today including our new champion MV Isle De France and our Reserve Champion Storm Cloud.
As the competitin increases, I urge everyone to pay attention to the top 10 horses parentage. It's there to help everyone see what wonderful breedings have been fulfilled in the past and what has worked now in the future.
All-in-all a great great divisin here today! Everyone seemed to be quite pleased with their horses and their placings!
Soon to come- 2002 Pony Jumper Division- one of the most exciting and welcoming divisions in the show series!
*NOTE*: I may have called a stallion she, or a mare he because I was basing my reports on whether I thought the name was for a boy or a girl sometimes. I have over 1000000000 e-mails full of entries lol it would have taken 3 hours just to get the genders of the horses here I do not know. Therefore please accept my apologies if I mixed up your horses gender at all!
