Bit of Britain, the leader in the sport of eventing, has raised the stakes for all participants at the 2011 Jersey Fresh Three Day as well as the 2011 Dansko Fair Hill International Three Day Event. Bit of Britain has devised the $30,000 Challenge with three ways to win:
- Any horse and rider combination that wins the CCI*** Divisions at both Jersey Fresh and the Dansko Fair Hill International will receive $20,000
- Any horse and rider combination that wins the CCI** at Jersey Fresh and the CCI*** at Dansko Fair Hill International will receive $15,000
- Any horse and rider combination that wins the CCI** Divisions at both Jersey Fresh and the Dansko Fair Hill International will win $10,000
As the owner of Bit of Britain I am very happy to support two of the finest events on the east coast. I was one of the original supporters of Jersey Fresh many years ago and Fair Hill has always been dear to my heart, being close to my home and business. I look forward to presenting someone with a check as the winner or winners of the Bit of Britain $30,000 Challenge.

Familiarizing yourself with the key players at each horse trial is an important step to your success at your next competition. One of those important figures is the show secretary. Think of the show secretary as the mastermind behind most of the organizational efforts related to each horse trial. They manage entries, the show schedule, ride times, stabling, and so much more. Without the hard work of the show secretary and their office staff, a horse trial simply would not be able to operate.
