1 DECEMBER 2013 COLLMAN EQUESTRIAN PRODUCTIONS NAMED TO MANAGE ESTES PARK FESTIVALS The Colorado Hunter Jumper Association has hired Collman Equestrian Productions to take over running the organization s popular show series in Estes Park, Colo., according to CHJA Board President Tracye Ferguson beginning with the 2014 shows. "CHJA is proud to have Mr. Collman and Collman Equestrian Productions joining the Estes Park Horse Shows. We look forward to introducing many exciting changes to the shows and to creating a unique and fun-filled experience for exhibitors and spectators alike! said Ferguson. CHJA is grateful to our past managers, Tommy McIntyre and Russ Walther for their years of service to our shows- we wish them health and luck now and in the future." Estes Park always has been and always will be a resort destination that offers something for everyone, Collman said. It is a place to plan a family vacation and a place where you can participate in a quality, exhibitor-friendly horse show. Working with both the association and town, we can make these shows once again a must-see stop on the hunter-jumper summer tour. The association s locally rated, and wildly popular, Copper Penny show serves as the preview to the two-week Estes Park Festival. For 2014 these shows run July (Copper Penny), July (Estes Park Festival I) and July 30-Aug. 3 (Estes Park Festival II). Estes Park III, originally scheduled for August 6-10, will not be held this year but is expected to return in More information will be posted to the CHJA website at chja.org and the association s Facebook page at facebook/pages/chja. Board of Directors 2 Show Schedule 6 Chris Collman, president of Collman Equestrian Productions, has a long history of riding, showing and working with Colorado horse shows. As a junior rider, he competed at the Estes Park shows in the 1970s. He returned to show there again as a professional in the 1980s.
