Jeffreys. For over 25 years, Bob has helped riders develop their horsemanship skills to produce the most rewarding relationship possible with their horses.

The Can-Am Wind Rider Challenge will be presented by Bob Jeffreys & Suzanne Sheppard during this exciting 2009-2010 seasons. The Regionals offer a unique, fun-filled opportunity for riders 14 years or older from all disciplines to compete for prizes, money and a place at the 2010 Can-Am All Breeds Equine Emporium Wind
Rider Challenge Finals! The cross disciplinary course will consist of a pattern including, but not limited to some of the following elements: circles cantered on the correct lead with speed control (or circles in gait with speed control for gaited breeds), a 2 foot jump, trotting or gaiting while balancing an object in one hand, backing through and around barrels, sidepassing, ground poles, balanced halts, turn on the haunches or turnarounds, leg yielding, open/close a gate and a ring joust. If you and your horse want to show off your teamwork in front of an audience, then you’d be great candidates to participate! Western riders, dressage riders, hunter/jumpers, trail riders, natural horsemen and gaited horse riders are all invited to compete individually with their horses on this timed cross disciplinary course. For the eliminations, our notable guest judges will award points on each challenge according to accuracy, horse’s attitude, good horsemanship and equitation.
