DerbyCross History
DerbyCross (www.derbycross.com) was conceived and developed by advanced level eventing competitors Rebecca Howard and Sinead Halpin, and Dana Voorhees, an avid amateur competitor and owner of Van Productions. This new equine sport combines the speed and accuracy of show jumping and the bravery and endurance of cross-country, showcased in a spectator-friendly format. The inaugural event took place in July of 2006 at Great Meadow Polo Club, in The Plains, Virginia. In 2010, DerbyCross joined the Professional Riders Organization to create PRO DerbyCross.
