Lexington, KY - The 74th Annual Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show scheduled for July 5-10, 2010, will continue its long-standing tradition of playing host to the USEF Saddle Seat Adult Amateur Medal Final. The Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show represents the world's largest outdoor American Saddlebred horse show and attracts thousands of spectators each year to shop, participate in social activities, and watch exhibitors compete for more than $70,000 in prize money.
The USEF Saddle Seat Adult Amateur Medal Final will take place during the morning session on Friday, July 9, and represents just one of the many exciting and prestigious championship classes being featured during the week at the historic Red Mile Racetrack in
downtown Lexington, Kentucky. A qualifying class will be held Wednesday morning, July 7, to allow those riders not yet qualified for the USEF Medal Final, the chance to earn the necessary placing and enable them to compete on Friday. Riders who are already qualified for the Medal Final may participate in the qualifying class on Wednesday, but are not required to do so. Entries should be submitted to the Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show by contacting Competition Secretary Beth Snider at (502) 647-0076.
**Important note: both the USEF Saddle Seat Adult Amateur Medal Final and its preceding qualifying class were inadvertently issued the same class number in the prize list. The corrected numbers will be posted in the competition office, as well as in the prize list online: http://www.lexjrleague.com/?nd=horse_show_exhibitors
Additionally, the prize list incorrectly lists the Lexington Junior League Charity Horse Show as a Region 8 Triple Point competition for the Roadster division. The correct Region 8 Triple Point competition for the Roadster Division is the Kentucky Spring Premier Horse Show in Lexington, Kentucky, which took place April 14-16, 2010.
