Exciting Championships at New Venue

The final curtain has come down on the 2008 Blue Chip Winter Show Jumping Championships and a superb time was had by all. Having been re-located to the brand new Hartpury Arena, in Gloucestershire, the show saw it’s highest ever number of entries and the host of new classes on offer proved to be popular with riders from all over the country attending. Feedback from all was positive, with the top class facilities receiving a big thumbs-up from riders, owners, spectators and sponsors.

Friday night’s Gala evening was a huge success, especially for Helen Tredwell and her ride Opportunity B who kept the crowd on the edge of their seats to take first place in the Blue Chip Grand Prix. This class was a fitting climax to the evening that began with Tim Stockdale’s informative demonstration.

The organisers would like to thank all who attended, and wish competitors the best of luck for the coming season. We look forward to seeing you at the 2009 Championships!
