Nunn
Finer Than Carolina Eventing Series
By
Abbey Dondanville
Nothing
is finer than North Carolina in the springtime~warm
days, blue skies, and a new year of horse trials.
Starting the season off with a bang, one new and three
established USEA events in the state came together
to host a new horse trials series reminiscent of the
old Sandhills Series. Southern Pines I, the Ark, The
Fork, and Longleaf Pines (March and April 2007) joined forces with the support of John Nunn and Bit
of Britain to create the Nunn Finer Than Carolina
Eventing Series to showcase some of the best courses
and facilities in the state.
Horse and rider combinations in Open/Adult
and Junior/YR divisions earned points at Beginner
Novice, Novice, and Training Levels at each of the
four events. Pairs must have competed in a minimum
of two series events to qualify for series-end awards.
In addition to winning Nunn Finer products at each
of the host events, Series Champion and Reserve Champions
will also win special Bit of Britain prize packages.
By
targeting only Beginner Novice through Training level
horses and riders, series organizers drew a mix of amateurs and professionals to each of
the four events, and created incentive for riders to
patronize additional Area II events. |
