$1,000 DIHP Dog Puissance to Benefit the USHJA Sponsored by Adequan

Main Hunter Ring

How high can your dog jump? Can he or she stack up with the best Thermal has to offer? Come find out when we hold the second annual DIHP Dog Puissance Challenge! Have some fun, win great prizes, and benefit a good cause by putting your dog’s jumping
skills to the test in a friendly competition.

Each dog needs at least one sponsor to provide a minimum $50 donation to
the USHJA Foundation. (More is encouraged - and will be recognized!) Dogs will compete in a set order for the duration of the event. The competition will start with a low jump, and each dog will attempt to jump it. A dog will be excused if it knocks the rail down, refuses the jump, or its handler elects not to continue. After the last dog in the order clears the jump, it will be raised, and the next round will begin. The dog clearing the jump at the highest height wins. Ribbons awarded 1st-10th. Each entrant will receive a special DIHP doggie bag, and the owner/handler will receive a $25 gift certificate to the DIHP Swag and Prize Store.

Four grand prizes will be awarded to:
• The dog clearing the highest fence (awards to the top large and the top
small dogs)
• The dog raising the most money from sponsors
• The dog having the largest number of sponsors
• Style award (Judge’s choice)
Entry Fee: $50/dog - enter on ShowGrounds Live or in the Show Office
