First BS Club show held

The first od British Showjumping's new Club shows was held on Sunday,  12 June at White House Farm Equestrian in Eagle Moor, Lincoln.

Club membership is aimed at grass roots competitors who feel comfortable jumping at 70cm to 1m. British Showjumping’s objective is to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where riders participate for points not prize money. Points will be allocated to the combination and accumulated for a Regional Championship. Riders do not have to compete in their own Region to accumulate points.

British Showjumping Insurance
Access to copies of the on line British Showjumping magazine
All results graded – thereby giving a full competition record
Two National Tickets to Ride, allowing members to compete in two national classes per year to encourage progression to National membership
Courses designed and judged by British Showjumping officials, ensuring that
the courses you ride are safe and that rules are applied consistently and fairly
Access training opportunities at a reduced member rate
Prestigious Regional Championships
No age restriction for those riding ponies
