The event was a resounding success, with riders showcasing their talents in a supportive and friendly environment. Head instructor Jennifer Jacoby emphasised the importance of the jump show, especially with regard to welcoming new riders to the centre. She added that in January, most riders require a certain amount of training with their horses to gain momentum in their coursework.

“We had new riders joining our centre, and this was the perfect opportunity for them to familiarise themselves and their horses or ponies with their skill of riding and jumping, as well as work on their jumping skills on the course,” Jennifer explained.

The event served as a valuable opportunity for riders to fine-tune their skills and gain confidence ahead of the upcoming competitions. Riders achieved an amazing trial of top three positions in the novice, prelim, work trot test and working riding category.

We had a wonderful day, and I know the newcomers will enjoy training at our facility.”
