Bromont, Quebec, July 6, 2012 – The International Bromont has once again planned improvements to the site of the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park for its competition, starting next July 18.
“We have invested a lot in the renovation of the site over the past three years,” indicated the show organizer, Roger Deslauriers. “We want to keep the quality of our installations and of our competition rings, which is why we have retouched the footing again this year in order to offer our participants the best set-up available.”
As the 2011 event hosted a record number of horses and riders, the competition manager is hoping for the same in 2012. “Riders and trainers have until June 29 to send in their stall reservation and entry forms. We are on the last stretch for registrations and we are confident that we will surpass last year’s entries,” declared Roger Deslauriers.
Amongst the novelties for 2012, is the World Cup qualifier on Sunday July 22, offering $100 000 in prize money this year, as well as the Hunt Derby on Saturday July 28, with $5 000 in prize money. The Grand Prix on the last Sunday will also offer $100 000 in prize money.
Following the 2011 edition’s success, the International Bromont is expecting two weeks of exceptional competitions and is happy to welcome riders in the picturesque setting of the Eastern Townships.
The International Bromont, a leader in Hunter/Jumper shows, presents two weeks of competitions, from July 18 to 22, and July 25 to 29, 2012. For 37 years, the event has been held in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec, near the Vermont border. It is the most important horse show in Eastern Canada with over $450 000 in prize money and is one of five large-scale Canadian shows on the World Cup circuit.
