Legacy Cup 2008

Adding Back to the Hunters

April 23, 2008

Lexington, KY --- The Legacy Cup is truly a different kind of horse show and the seventh edition of this one of a kind hunter competition takes place May 8-17. This two-week innovative, high paying, exhibitor-friendly event, is hosted by the Kentucky Spring Horse Shows and showcased at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY.

It was the American Hunter-Jumper Foundation, Inc. (AHJF) that created the Legacy Cup. The first two years the show was held as a stand alone event. After listening to the exhibitors, management paired the Legacy Cup with one of the nation's top AA rated hunter horse shows. This will be the fifth year that the Legacy Cup will be included as part of show manager Hugh Kincannon’s Kentucky series.

When asked what they thought about the Legacy Cup many of last year’s winners echoed their approval.

“It is a great idea. Hunters don't ever get to compete for money and the AHJF does a beautiful job. I love the Legacy Cup,” noted Tammy Provost.

“The Legacy Cup showcases hunters and the format makes it special the way they do it at night. It's a lot of fun for everybody,” added Chrystal Knight. “And the AHJF is a great Foundation. They do a lot of good for the horse show community.”

“I absolutely love the Legacy Cup,” chimed Kristi Cardalico. “I wish there were more Legacy Cups for the Hunters. It makes it special with the presentations and the fact that it’s very simple. You have one round and then you go into the Finals on a clean slate. You dress up and compete indoors at night. It is sort of like a jumper classic which you don't get in the hunters too often.”
