Jessica outjumps her opponents
The top designers in South Africa were invited to design courses this year, in order to afford riders the opportunity to experience showjumping at top level.
The first leg of the exciting Nottinghill Equestrian Estate Masters Showjumping series took place on the outskirts of White River this past weekend.
According to Loura van den Heever, the event organiser, the top designers in South Africa were invited to design courses this year, in order to afford riders the opportunity to experience showjumping at top level.
FEI level 2 designer Ryan Sanders was the first to challenge riders, with exacting and technical courses.
“The tracks rode well, and riders had to bring out their best to get clear rounds,” said Van den Heever. This made for an exciting weekend of showjumping.
The White Waters Stud also showcased the cream of the crop at this show, with stud stallion Beach Haven On Track and six of his offspring taking part.
