SEA – December 30, 2004 – four
event organizers announce the SEA Showjumping Open Championships to further
promote and develop the equestrian sport in South East Asia. A new competition will hit the road in South East Asia in the year 2004. Riders and event organizers from four SEA countries - Malaysia (Quzier Ambak, Equestrian Promotion Sdn Bhd), Indonesia (Rafiq Radinal, Arthayasa Stables), Thailand (Sunetr Burakasikorn and Helena Gabrielsson Equestrian Paradice) and Singapore (Alla Poloumieva, Sport Horse Communication & Management), - initiated the founding of a new regional competition - SEA Showjumping Open Championships. The competition has been created to satisfy an increased interest among SEA riders and to provide them with an additional opportunity to compete and raise their standards towards an internationally recognized level. Because of the difficulties involved in transporting horses (veterinary regulations and transport costs), it was decided to hold the competition in each country individually and then determine an overall winner for each level in the region. The competition will run in three levels: Cat. A (125cm); Cat. B (115cm) and Cat. C (105cm). The competition will carry total prize money of US$3,000. The price money will be awarded to the 1st place winner in each category and will be divided as follow: Cat.A (US$1,200), Cat.B (US$1,000), Cat.C (US$800).
