The prize list is online now and attached to this email for the upcoming Gulf Coast Winter Classic Circuit in Gulfport, Mississippi that kicks off on February 7th for six weeks of AA show jumping competition!

All weather KCR footing in the arenas 
We are not printing a paper prize list this year so we encourage you to share this email with your friends. This year we celebrate 20 years on the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast. Again we are offering large amounts of prize money and abundant opportunities to earn points-actually the most points offered of any winter circuit- and we are excited to bring back the $5 Dollar division entry fee to both the 3' and 3'3" Green Divisions sponsored by Sidelines and the Young Hunter Divisions. 

The Sidelines Green Hunter Divisions will be qualifiers for the $30,000 Green Hunter Classic held at the 2018 Atlanta Fall Classic. The top twenty will be invited to compete for no entry fee!  

"We continue to support the development of our Green Hunters. By offering these divisions for only five dollars throughout the entire circuit, we are helping the horse owners, riders and trainers to economically train and compete their up and coming hunters," said Bob Bell, President of the Gulf Coast Classic Company." The $30,000 Green Hunter Classic gives this division a goal and some serious prize money while developing the future of our hunter sport horses," he added.

March 2nd during Week IV features the Zone 4 $1,000 Child/Adult Handy Hunter Classic and on March 9, Week V the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby gallops onto the Harrison County Equestrian Center and Fairgrounds.

All of us at the Gulf Coast Classic Company hope that you will be choosing us to show with this winter!
