4 FWSSR DEBUTS $20,000 GRAND PRIX JUMPING COMPETITION The elite of the horse show jumping world will have Fort Worth in their sights as the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo hosts the First Annual Show Jumping Classic and Rodeo Grand Prix presented by Defender Outdoors benefiting The Saving Hope Foundation. Named for a severely abused pug-mix rescued in Weatherford named “Hope,” the Saving Hope Foundation’s mission is to end animal abuse and neglect by addressing dog and cat overpopulation in the community through an aggressive spay neuter campaign, supporting education, transport and adoption programs. Adoption, fostering and volunteer opportunities are available at its rescue center based in Aledo, Texas. “This an exciting addition to the horse show lineup at the Stock Show,” said Horse Show Director Lauren Lovelace Murray. “Fort Worth has a proven base of show jumping fans, and we’re delighted to offer a $20,000 purse to the event.” Included in the price of grounds admission, the event is set to kick off January 26 at 8 a.m. in Will Rogers Coliseum and consists of five classes followed by a grand prix, the highest and most technical level of jumping, beginning at 5 p.m. An awards ceremony will conclude the competition, with fans invited to attend a post-event VIP reception at 7 p.m. Tickets for the reception, which will include grounds admission, can be purchased here and are $125 for adults and $60 for children eight and under. Rodeo tickets are sold separately. Event sponsors also include Reata Restaurant, October Hill Farm, The Saving Hope Foundation, 6666 Ranch, Fort Worth and Western Railroad, J.P.
