Jahdayna Samuels, winner of the Fred Pimentel Award for the junior with the most points at the Annual Exhibition, will be hoping to keep up her good form when she represents Bermuda in the Caribbean Equestrian Association Junior Jumping Competition at Vesey Street this weekend.

Samuels, along with veteran CEA competitor Tyler Lopes, will be looking to give a good showing in order to take home the first place finish on Saturday and Sunday at the National Equestrian Centre.

Samuels and Lopes will be competing against CEA rivals, Barbados and Jamaica who have both taken the top spot in Bermuda for the past six years.

The Cayman Islands, who took first place when they hosted the last leg of the CEA competition in March, will also be on the Island to compete.

All teams will arrive tomorrow.

The CEA competition sees the likes of Antigua, Barbados, Cayman, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Bermuda compete in a junior jumping competition over the course of the year.

Three teams travel to the islands according to their rotation for the year and are represented by two riders – a 14 years and under rider and 16 years and under rider.

Samuels and Lopes along with the visiting riders will ride a series of local horses loaned by members of the Bermuda Equestrian Federation.

"Without their four-legged animals, this show would not be possible, so thank you to the owners," said McKeisha Smith, chairman of the CEA Bermuda Committee.

Coach of the Bermuda team will be Nick DeCosta.

Lopes rides out of the Terceira's stables while Samuels rides out of Inwood Stables.
