SOJT Young Jumper Championship a Success





Jeffrey (Jeff) Papows, the CEO of Concord, Massachusetts-based ShopAdvisor, which develops mobile proximity marketing solutions to help brands reach consumers in the digital space is also A horse jumping enthusiast. Jeff Papows is the driving force behind the Silver Oak Jumper Tournament (SOJT).

SOJT is one of the country’s premier jumper tournaments, consistently rated among the top 25 list of the North American Riders Group. It is also a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit working with sponsors to rescue thousands of horses destined for slaughter. 

In 2016 SOJT again held the Silver Oak Young Jumper tournament, where riders on young horses competed over three days for championship qualifier positions. The young horses ranged from age four to seven. The six-year-olds jumped heights between 1.20 and 1.25 meters and the seven year olds jumped heights between 1.30 and 1.35 meters. The sporting event provided a good setting for the promising horses to gain show ring mileage. 

Taylor Flury emerged as champion of the six-year-old jumper division with two of her horses winning in two categories. The Overall Championship went to Cosmea Z while the Reserve Championship went to Carrasca Z. Both horses are owned by AliBoo Farm. 

For the seven-year-old jumper division, Paul O’Shea emerged champion of the Overall Division on his mount Eddie Blue, while Kevin Babington was awarded Reserve Champion riding Call Me Ruth.
