| Queeny Park has changed the courses to improve the flow and safety for the horses and riders. Beginning in 2006, we hired Jonathan Wells to design new courses for the Preliminary, Training, Novice and Beginner Novice tracks. He has extensive background from the East Coast, Southeast and Midwest portions of the country. Jon not only designs but is a Master Builder as well. John Williams DC is the course designer of the Intermediate level and also participates in the overall design of all the courses. Mr. Williams was on our Olympic Team in Athens in 2004. The courses have been reversed in direction; the start box is in the field across from the Landmark Tower Jump Complex and the finish is in the old start field. We have also utilized the North field to give a greater flow to your ride. Mr. Williams says, "This field is what a cross country course should be ridden on." You will recognize many of the wonderful portable jumps originally designed by Les Smith in their new position. The water jump has been redesigned in order to take it from the opposite direction. The courses are close to maximum length and have maximum jumping efforts. |
