Lisa Goldman Named Show Jumping Hall of Fame Rider Of The Month

Competition in the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series remained strong in the month of July. With the summer competition schedule heating up, many horse shows featured Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series classes, making every point count in this month's battle for Rider of the Month!

With Cavalor's support, the Series honors one rider each month as the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series Rider of the Month. The honor goes to the one rider who earns the most points on one horse in Series competition that month.

With 300 points earned aboard her mount Centurion B, Lisa Goldman of Hawthorn Woods, IL, was named as Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Rider of the Month for the month of July. Lisa competes in the Series' East Conference amateur-owner division, and was victorious with Centurion B during the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series class held at the Equifest I horse show. They pair also finished second at the Ledges Summertime horse show and fourth at the Showplace Summertime horse show.

"We are very excited to honor Lisa with the Cavalor Rider of the Month award," said Philippe Collard, President of Cavalor, Inc. "July was one of the most competitive months the Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series has seen, making Lisa's win that much more impressive!"

The Cavalor Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic Series saw competition at 26 events during the month of July, and will see classes at more than 100 horse shows before the Series culminates in the Year-End Championships at the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament featuring the 126th National Horse Show in Syracuse, NY, in October.
