Lovsta Future Challenge Final

 

Lovsta Future Challenge - Jumping

The Lovsta Future Challenge is a tour for 7 year old showjumpers in Wellington.  The vision is to give young jumpers the best conditions to develop towards top international sports.   

49 horses qualified for the final by jumping at least 2 clear rounds in the 7 qualifiers held over the course of the winter.  On average, we saw a 55% clear round average during the qualifers.  

The top qualifers are shown below.  Note the eventual winner, Cinderella and Beat Mandli, was tied for the top performance going into the final!    

 

Looking by breed, Dutch Warmbloods (KWPN) made up over 1/4 the qualifiers.  Belgian Sporthorses and Selle Francais were the next most represented.  The most popular stallions were Balou du Rouet and Emerald.

JumpClear conducted fault source analysis throughout the qualifiers.  In general, we see a very similar pattern in young horses to the baseline with Other Vertical and Oxer emerging as the most faulted, followed by the combination elements.  

Member Statistics February 2022

 

JumpClear members averaged a 51% clear round average in February.  This is a significant decline from January but more in line with the 12 month average (54%).  

Their Round 1 Clear Round Average was nearly 20 points below the Jumpoff Average (45% vs. 65%); this is a slightly larger gap than usual.

Two horses achieved a perfect 100% Clear Round Average.

Members averaged 4.6 Rounds/Month and 2.7 Faults (# of Faulted Jumps).  Both are higher than January but more in line with the volume we saw late last Fall, suggesting Members may have been just gearing up for the season in January.  

Looking at Fault Source metrics, the most faulted course elements continue to come from the "other" Jump Detail with Other Oxer driving 23% of Faults and Other Vertical 15%.  The next most faulted was a Combination-In Vertical (10%).  

If we drill into more detail, Other Singles Oxer resulted in 13% of Faults; Other Related Oxers resulted in 10%.
