A fantastic 2014 Blue Chip Winter Show Jumping Championships has come to a close, with multiple riders heading home having been crowned the winner in nearly 50 different junior and senior classes. Packed with competitive competition including the new Diamond Championship – 2014 has once again proven to be a phenomenal show! Thank you to all the riders, supporters, sponsors, judges and the team behind the scenes for making it yet another wonderful show. We wish you all the best of luck for the rest of the year and look forward to seeing again in 2015!
Combine a junior speed class, legendary show jumper Geoff Billington, the Leaping Leprechauns and nearly 50 Grand Prix starters and what do you have? Yet another fantastic night of entertainment at the Blue Chip Winter Show Jumping Championships Gala Evening!
The crowd were on the edge of their seats after a challenging Grand Prix course saw plenty of faults in the first round and only a scattering of clear rounds going into the jump off!
It was Chloe Winchester riding Gilly Winchester’s Avoca Valkyrie who sped to victory with a beautiful clear round, closely followed by Nick Benterman in second place with his own Zorland D Volo and Tina Fletcher riding Lady Harris’ Unique IX in third. Full results can be found here.
With over 3000 rounds of show jumping, the 2014 Championships has been truly spectacular and we would like to thank everyone for their support and wish all involved a very successful year.
The dates for next year’s finals and qualifiers for the 2015 Blue Chip Championships will be available on this website in August.
The Andrews Bowen surfaces which were installed in the summer of 2011 to both the outdoor Kingsland Equestrian Arena and the outdoor warm up arena for the Kingsland Equestrian Arena proved a major success at the 2012 & 2013 Blue Chip Championships.
The Show Organisers are delighted that all competition arenas and warm up arenas at the 2014 Blue Chip Championships will have Andrews Bowen surfaces.
Any rider that is placed 1st – 3rd in the Blue Chip Pro Open Challenge Trophy on Thursday and wins the Blue Chip Grand Prix will take home a £1,000 bonus prize kindly sponsored by Andrews Bowen Ltd. For details please see Class 27 the Blue Chip Grand Prix in the schedule.
