Welcome to ISJ

 

In recent years we have witnessed an explosive growth in the popularity of Show Jumping as an interschool sport perhaps inspired by the deeds of young Aussie riders on the world stage e.g., Matt Williams at the Olympics and Phillip Lever in the World Cup. This year eight schools will host Show Jumping Championships as Rounds of The Victorian Interschool Equestrian Series viz. Toorak College, Hillcrest Christian College, Geelong Grammar, Ivanhoe Grammar, The Peninsula School, Kardinia International School, Braemar College, and Geelong College.

 

The VIES has adopted the three round interschool Grand Prix format pioneered by our ISJ Interschool Show Jumping Series. This initiative is designed to encourage better jumping by making performance over obstacles the principal factor. All school children are catered for from the age of 6 with five height Levels, from Freshman (range 45cm to 60cm) to Stars (range 105cm to 120cm).

 

As we announced at Ayr Hill, we are currently looking to implement electronic timing as part of our ongoing improvement and are looking for new ISJ sponsors whose contribution will go towards assisting us achieve this objective. Any interested parties should contact Peter Hornsey (0403 090 202) or Brent Dennison (0447 048 824).
