Bermuda riders took to the center ring of the National Equestrian Center to compete in the 2016 Caribbean Equestrian Association’s Regional Jumping Challenge.
With all the results now in Bermuda are crowned the REGIONAL JUMPING CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS IN BOTH TEAM & INDIVIDUAL CATEGORIES.
This was the first time that Bermuda has competed in the Caribbean Equestrian Association’s Regional Jumping Challenge, which is currently in its second year.
