Throughout the summer at HITS Saugerties and HITS Chicago, KindredBio and Summit Joint Performance are sponsoring Leading Rider Awards in their respective classes. The KindredBio 1.40m Open Jumper and the Summit Joint Performance Jr/A-O/Am 1.35m Jumper Classic take place weekly throughout the HITS Saugerties and HITS Chicago Circuits. With the summer series right around the corner at Saugerties and Chicago, riders are going head to head to earn points.

KindredBio Leading Rider Award

Currently topping the field of Midwest riders competing for the KindredBio Leading Rider Award at HITS Chicago is Lisa Goldman with a total of 40.5 points. Goldman established her lead early on in the season at HITS Chicago. The question is will she be able to hold on to it? Emanuel Andrade captured a win last week aboard GRAN MAMUT. Andrade also took home the second, sixth, seventh, and eight place winnings in the class, along with 16.5 points, for a total of 33.5 points, placing him right behind Goldman. There are still seven more weeks of show jumping competition and chances to earn points in toward the HITS Chicago KindredBio Leading Rider Award.

On the East Coast, Laura Chapot is currently holding on to the top slot for the KindredBio Leading Rider Award with a total of 24.5 points. Chapot took the lead during Week III of HITS-on-the-Hudson when she flew to first, second, and fourth place finishes. Michael Hutchinson captured the blue ribbon during Week I and Alberto Michan during Week II, which ties them for second with 10 points each.
