We have gone to the event several times over the years, historically just to support our team mates but not compete due to injury. Last year was the first year that my daughter was healthy enough to compete in it although she did not do the individual portion, but just the team event which last year was the first time that they did the team event.
The CUTA Jr Girls finished first and the team collected $6000 in prize money. Of course the CUTA immediately took 1/2 for themselves. Then the coaches took half of what was left. Then the remaining $1500 was split between the 10 team members so each girl got $150 out of the $6000 total prize.
Since the majority of that first place winning CUTA team was comprised of girls that train at our school now, we are considering putting forward a Jr Girls team of our own this year. Hope to finalize the plan this evening.
Whether or not we are able to put together a team though, we will be there as it usually is a pretty cool event and the venue (outdoor horse show arena) is really a neat place for a competition.
