The sixth week of Competition started back up today here at Montenmedio’s Andalucía Sunshine Tour.  The Young horses were out in force, with two classes in each section and all jumping on the geotextile arenas.

There were 197 horses in the 6YO classes and 119 went clear.  In the 5YO classes there were 100 horses, with 66 clears.  Each clear a horse jumps in all the Young Horse classes,  is added to its individual tally towards qualification for the Finals next week.
