On Sunday, May 29th, the Cayman Islands Equestrian Federation (CIEF) held the fourth and final leg of this season’s National Jumping Series at the Equestrian Center located on Linford Pearson Highway. Except for a 30-minute rain delay, the show went off without a hitch.

Winners of each class were:
