The Derby at the Genesee Country Village & Museum Returns June 6-7, 2015

$35,000 International Hunter Derby in Upstate New York

Mumford, NY – February 3, 2015 – After rave reviews following its inaugural year, The Derby at the Genesee Country Village & Museum (GCV&M) returns to Mumford, New York on June 6-7, 2015.

The standalone United States Hunter Jumper Association (USHJA) event features both a $5,000 USHJA National Hunter Derby, to be held on Saturday, and a $35,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby, to be held on Sunday.

Last year’s derbies attracted more than 1,000 spectators and some of the sports top hunter riders, including Kelley Farmer, Jennifer Alfano and the International Derby winner Evan Coluccio, all of whom had nothing but rave reviews for the show.

“This is going to become huge. I think this is going to be one of these places that they’re going to have to turn people away because that field is unbelievable,” Alfano said. “It’s beautiful. It rode great. With the museum here you have kind

 of a built in spectator base. Usually it’s difficult to get this many people to come to a hunter derby.”
