Over 60 hours of jumping and nearly 2800 first rounds of jumping later and the curtain has now closed on the 21st Blue Chip Winter Show Jumping Championships. It has been a phenomenal show with five days of exciting jumping from nearly 1,000 horses and ponies, resulting in hundreds of competitors celebrating their successes.
We would like to congratulate every single rider and say a big thank you to their support teams for helping get them to the Championships and wish them good luck over the coming year and we hope to see many of you back here next year for the 2013 Show.
Friday 13th 2012 was certainly not unlucky for show jumper Mark Bunting who fought off serious competition to take the title in the Blue Chip Grand Prix. Riding Shayla McInulty's UB One, he sped to victory, leaving Sammie-Jo Coffin on her own Willem de Lux close behind in second, followed by Sam Hutton and Ali Ghandour's Cornetta 10 in very close third!
The evening was a resounding success following a fun-filled Junior Challenge, an educational and entertaining demonstration from Tina Fletcher and Graham Fletcher and of course, our amazing Leaping Leprechauns who raised the roof with their exceptional jumping talents!
