2017 Capital Challenge Horse Show Expands to Ten Days

Watch Live! – September 29 – October 8

The 24th edition of the Capital Challenge Horse Show, presented by the World Equestrian Center, returns to the Prince George’s Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro, MD, on September 29 through October 8, 2017. The popular, ever-growing horse show will feature a newly expanded ten-day schedule.

Equitation Weekend, presented by BigEq.com, now offers three full days of competition and will host the new United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) 3’3” Jumping Seat Medal Final for the East Coast.

“The Jumping Seat Medal Finals were created to provide a 3’3″ level finals, as well as an introduction to the 3’6″ finals and a stepping stone to the Talent Search Finals,” said Robin Rost, chair of the USHJA Joint Equitation Task Force. “We are thrilled that the Capital Challenge Horse Show has agreed to host the inaugural event, as they host a very successful show with a weekend dedicated entirely to equitation.”

The weekend of equitation championships will also include the Palm Beach International Academy North American Junior Equitation Final, the North American Adult Amateur Equitation Championships, and the Taylor Harris Insurance Services National Children’s Medal Finals. The addition of the 3’3” Jumping Seat Medal Final rounds out the impressive list of equitation championships at Capital Challenge and gives another group of riders the opportunity to qualify for and compete at a prestigious indoor final.

“The 3’3” [Final] is something that’s needed,” said trainer Troy Hendricks of Kimber-View Stables in Glenmoore, PA. “It’s a great stepping stone for young riders in the equitation. The 3’6” can be very difficult, and this really gets them in the ring and gives them the opportunity for a final. It gives them something to work for. Not all riders are 3’6” medal contenders, so maybe that’s not their niche. This is a really good niche, and it’s really good for our industry as a whole.”

Jumper competitors also have their turn in the spotlight at Capital Challenge. New for 2017 is the Low Junior/Amateur Jumper division, which features a $10,000 classic. Additional jumper highlights include the $10,000 North American Medium Junior/Amateur Owner Classic, sponsored by Johnson Horse Transportation, and the $10,000 Children’s/Adult Amateur Jumper Classic.

Following the conclusion of the expanded equitation weekend, the Capital Challenge Horse Show is proud to again host the nation’s best hunter horses and riders for the World Championship Hunter Rider (WCHR) Finals. Throughout the week, the show will offer WCHR Hunter Challenges for amateurs, juniors, children, ponies, developing professionals, and the highlighted $25,000 WCHR Professional Challenge on Wednesday, October 4. Spectators will also get to watch the top six hunter riders in the country go head-to-head in the $5,000 WCHR Professional Finals on Friday, October 6.

Also unique to the Capital Challenge Horse Show, and a special part of the hunter competition each year, is the $25,000 3’ and 3’3” Green Hunter North American Championship, sponsored by the Wheeler Family and to be held Wednesday, October 4.

For more information on the 2017 Capital Challenge Horse Show, please visit www.CapitalChallenge.org, find the horse show on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or follow the all-new @CapChallenge account on Snapchat!

About the Capital Challenge Horse Show

Held each autumn at the Prince George’s Equestrian Center in Upper Marlboro, MD, the 2017 edition of the Capital Challenge Horse Show will take place September 29 – October 8. The ten days of competition will include prestigious equitation events and the World Championship Hunter Rider (WCHR) Finals with many of the country’s best horses and riders competing in junior, amateur, and professional hunter divisions.

Do You Have Course-Related Amnesia?

You’re Not Alone!

By: Heather Struthers

Coursenesia is a condition that selectively affects hunter and jumper riders and involves disruptions or breakdowns of memory, consciousness, awareness and/or perception. These symptoms can interfere with a person’s general happiness and adversely affect the pleasure they derive from equestrian-related hobbies and/or relationships.

What is Coursenesia?

Coursenesia is a condition in which your brain becomes weak or paralyzed while on riding a hunter or jumper course. It only affects one course at a time and often results in embarrassment and monetary loss (scale of monetary loss is dependent on class fee). Coursenesian can happen to anyone but seems more common in amateurs and perceivably high stakes classes such as Classics and Prixs. Most of the time, the symptoms are only temporary.

What causes it?

Most trainers believe coursenesia is due to either internal or external pressure placed on the competitor that results in temporary brain flatulence. Results can vary from missing a single jump on course, with the most common being the last jump, to confusing the track entirely—with the worst cases involving jumping oxers the wrong direction.

If the bout is fleeting, the class can sometimes be saved with a circle or creative approach to the next fence. But often cases of coursenesia result in a ringing in the ears…of the elimination buzzer. Some psychologists believe there is a parental component. Evidence suggests that residual guilt from performance and financial pressures imposed as a child can increase the risk of coursenesia later in life.

What are the symptoms of Coursenesia?

Symptoms of coursenesia typically come on suddenly. One day you could be the winner of the class and the next day, you’ll be doing the trot of shame back to the in-gate after being politely asked to leave by the announcer.

How is it diagnosed and treated?

There is no test that can tell you definitively if you have coursenesia. In fact, your trainer will usually find out through “diagnosis of exclusion.” This means they determine you have coursenesia after heat exhaustion, concussion, and/or mental illness have been ruled out. Your trainer will try to rule out other conditions like under-preparedness, late-night drinking, or missed course walk. (S)he may also test your vision, hearing, and short-term memory to help make the diagnosis.

Are there any treatments?

The first goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and stem personal embarrassment. There is no medication to treat coursenesia, though alcohol is commonly used following an episode to mixed results.

What is the outlook for people with coursenesia? 

The outlook for people with coursenesia depends on the patience of their trainer. For most people, memory returns with time. In some cases, however, coursenesia develops into a chronic condition. While some sufferers report that they may “die of embarrassment,” no fatalities have been recorded at this time.

Is it possible to prevent coursenesia?

It is possible to prevent coursenesia. Showing up for the course walk early, setting aside dedicated time to memorize the course and regular use of memory training exercises are shown to effectively prevent coursenesia.

Why Blanket?

Blanketing Tips for Your Horse

Blankets are primarily used to shield horses from varying weather conditions and climates. Providing your horse with the best fit, comfort and protection is vital to your peace of mind. The right blanket choice will help to regulate your horse’s body temperature and maintain a healthy condition.

There are 5 main types of blankets:

1. Turnout Blankets and Sheets

Using a turnout blanket or sheet will help protect your horse from harsh weather conditions such as cold, rain, wind and snow, keeping him warm and dry. There are various levels of protection and warmth available in turnout blankets, and you should consider you horse’s living and grazing conditions, the outdoor temperature, your clipping routine, weight, age and exercise level before purchasing a blanket.

2. Stable Blankets

Horses who are clipped and living indoors will benefit from a stable blanket that will provide warmth because he is unable to move around freely to generate his own body heat during colder months. Lighter weight stable blankets can also be used to help keep horses clean who mainly live inside.

3. Mesh Sheets

Mesh sheets will help prevent horses from becoming irritated by flies and midges in the summer months when they are spending more time outdoors, allowing them to relax and enjoy their grazing. These are essential for horses who are allergic to insect bites.

4. Summer Sheets

Horses that are turned out in warmer weather will benefit from a summer sheet with ultraviolet protection. With a high cotton content, they are more naturally breathable to keep your horse cool in the sun and they also help to prevent coat fading, keeping your horse clean and dust free.

5. Coolers

Generally made from wool or fleece, coolers are used after exercise, typically in colder weather, to help regulate your horse’s body temperature and prevent it from dropping too rapidly while he is cooling down.

WHICH BLANKET SHOULD I USE?

One of the most frequently asked questions has to do with blanket weight. More specifically, horse owners want to know which weight blanket to use for certain temperatures. This is a tough question to answer because every horse is different, Weatherbeeta has put together a chart to serve as a starting point.

Keep in mind that this list does not take into consideration wind chill or precipitation, so you will need to factor those in to your decision. This is particularly important for horses who are clipped and/or live outside.

In general, you want to keep your horse warm, but you don’t want him to sweat. It’s healthier for him to be a little cold than too hot because the evaporating sweat can make your horse even colder.
