The Palm Beach County Horseman’s Association will launch its 2016 season with all shows as sanctioned events for the Southeast Medal Finals, enabling participants for the first time to qualify for the finals competition that takes place September 16-18.

It holds eight two-day shows with classes in hunters and equitation at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in West Palm Beach. The first show takes place April 29-30.

“We created the Southeast Medal Finals as a horse show accessible to all riders,” said SEMF creator James Lala of Wellington. “Some of these riders might never have participated in a horse show beyond the local level, so we’re pleased to offer members of the Palm Beach Horseman’s Association a chance to participate in a real finals event.”

Each month, the Palm Beach Horseman’s Association 2-day show attract between 80 and 100 participants in classes from lead-line up through open hunters, said Association President Tanja Koschnick.

“Our schooling shows are the stepping stone to that next level of going to the rated shows,” Koschnick said. “This affiliation would give participants a prestigious finals to work toward without having to travel too far.”
