ABOUT GEORGIAN BAY ZONE

Background

The Georgian Bay Hunter Jumper Show Circuit was founded in 1990 by Jeanne Mervyn, Jennifer Gray, Val Shaw and Marylin and Gerry Knight. These local horse people realized there was a demand for a local show circuit in the area and developed a schooling show series that offered a range of classes, encouraging all levels of riders to compete.

In 1994, the circuit became part of the Trillium Hunter/Jumper Association creating a new Trillium zone known as Georgian Bay. Although the first year did not see a full Trillium class list, the circuit soon expanded to offer a full schedule. The region became so competitive that at the 1999 Trillium Championships, the Georgian Bay Zone was Region Champion.

Today, the circuit has grown to see as many as 125 entries. Along with the mandatory Trillium divisions, additional Primary level classes have been added to the schedule, giving a start to the next generation of Trillium competitors.
 
Why show on the Georgian Bay Circuit?

All Trillium competitions must hire recognized OEF officials (judges, course designers and stewards). The Primary competitions must hire an OEF recognized judge. Horse shows who are not registered with the OEF are not allowed to hire OEF officials.

A day at a Georgian Bay show is an economical way to gain experience for either you or your horse or both! The courses are well designed and the jumps are safe and inviting.
Show Managers do their best to upgrade their facilities every year to make the shows easier to run and more friendly for horses and competitors alike.
