3'3" Amateur/Owner Hunter Division, will highlight this year's schedule.
"We are very excited about the return of the St. Christopher's Horse Show this year,"
said, horse show manager Lloyd Longenecker of Ryegate Show Services. "It was unfortunate

back and better than ever with exciting classes and great officials."

Washington International Horse Show and Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic
