Todays #throwbackthursday features classic footage of the American Jumping Derby! Heres what Bernie Traurig has to say about his days competing in the American Hunter Derby... Competing in the American Jumping Derby was one of the highlights of my Equestrian Show Jumping career. Maybe it was my eventing background that made me love this class so much. Mason Phelps organized this spectacular event at his wonderful estate, Glen Farm, in Rhode Island and it was a one of a kind extravaganza for over a decade. It featured massive natural jumps over a very, very long course which made it a real contest that required special preparation in training the grob, banks, ditches, as well as conditioning one’s horse. A real horseman’s class with a European flavor!
