The BSJA is announced a new sponsor to British Show Jumping in Mitavite, who were also the Official Feed Supplier at the World Cup Show Jumping Final in Kuala Lumpar.

It was at this event that many International Show Jumpers were introduced to Mitavite’s range of complete high energy, rice based feeds. Among them was Michael Whitaker who found that Suncal Portofino quickly adapted with extremely positive results to the change in her diet. This led to a meeting with Mitavite directly and to a commitment by them to export its feed to Michael in the UK.

As part of their commitment to British Show Jumping, Mitavite have committed to sponsoring the re-formatted National Six Year Old Championship. Championship that they feel aligns closely with their own objectives – the core ones of which are ensuring that horses are allowed to develop in the best possible way to ensure their longevity in terms of peak performance and fitness.

The Vitamite BSJA National Six Year Old Championship will run across four direct qualifiers for the final to be held at the Easibed BSJA/Scope Festival of show Jumping in August 2008.

The Final will see three days of show jumping allowing horses to be assessed properly across a number of days with a view to potential Equine Pathway horses being identified for selection. A prize fund of £1,500 will be awarded to the two preliminary classes and a prize fund of £6,000 for the third and final class making a total prize fund of £9,000 available at the Championship.

The four qualifying events are scheduled at:

• Arena UK 4th May
• Unex Towerlands 16/17th May (qualifier on 17th)
• Vicarage Farm 24/25th June
• Wales & West 1/3 July (qualifier on 2nd)
