The Show Organisers are please to announce that the Championship Finals will once again be held at the impressive Hartpury Arena in Gloucestershire. They will be held from Wednesday 6th April – Sunday 10th April and show timetable will be available on the website in January 2011. The Championships will include a full schedule of competitions in both the indoor Championship Arena and the outdoor all weather arena.

The Blue Chip Winter Show Jumping Championships have now concluded for 2010. As usual, the five days delivered excellent show jumping, some nail biting jump off’s and an electric atmosphere for the duration of the show.

With hundreds of horse and rider combinations travelling to Hartpury in Gloucestershire from across the nation to compete in the prestigious championships, the turnout was extremely high and the smiles from successful competitors reflected the mood felt across the showground.

Each day supplied spectators and competitors with top class jumping – including the gripping Grand Prix on the Gala Evening which had everyone on the edge of their seats!

We would like to thank all of the sponsors, competitors, spectators and the amazing 'Team' of officials, for once again providing a superb Championships and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2011.

After a first round packed full of well known names and recognised riders, the 2010 Blue Chip Grand Prix title was taken by previous winner Helen Tredwell on Mark Robinson’s famous little chestnut mare Opportunity B. The rider from Buckinghamshire stormed the twisty jump off with a fast but well planned round just beating Tina Fletcher and Graham Fletcher’s Promised Land to the finish post.

With over 40 starters in the first round tackling Stephen Renouard’s challenging course, a jump off of 13 included four rides for Guy Williams and two from Mark Armstrong, as well as Keith Shore who was campaigning for the Andrews Bowen £1,000 Championship Bonus. However it wasn’t to be and girl power reigned supreme with Helen and Tina taking the top two accolades, closely followed by Mark Armstrong riding David Wenman’s Caleta.
