34 SIDELINES JULY 2013
FOR HORSE PEOPLE • ABOUT HORSE PEOPLE
Have you ever wanted to design a hunter derby course? Then
you are in luck. Sidelines Magazine has partnered with
The
Charleston Summer Classic
and one lucky person will get to
help design a
Hunter Derby Course
at the
Charleston Classic
Week 1
. The design of the course will be coordinated with
Classic’s Offcial Course Designer for technical measurements,
but the guest course designer will receive credit for the creative
elements. The Charleston Summer Classic
returns for its 21st
anniversary to
Mullet Hall Equestrian Center
on Johns Island in
South Carolina July 10th through the 20th. It’s a great horse show
destination where you can combine your love of horses and the
beach in one location. For more information, visit classiccompany.
