Equestrian centre hosts annual jump show
Honeydew Equestrian Centre hosted a fun and active jump show to ease their riders from previous competitions.
Honeydew — To kick off the Easter season, the Honeydew Equestrian Centre (HEC) hosted an exciting show jumping event on April 13 for their riders to ease off the competition jitters and enjoy a fun day of doing the sport they so dearly love.
The day was filled with bright colours, big smiles, and enthusiastic equestrians enjoying quality time with their beloved horses.
Family and friends gathered to cheer on the riders, who competed in a variety of classes – from simple poles on the ground to more challenging jumps, making the event accessible to all levels of experience.

HEC stable manager Martinique van der Westhuizen explained that the jump show is hosted annually to allow the riders to just have fun with their peers and family members present.
“Around this time, some of the riders are competing in the Kyalami Park Club and the South African National Equestrian Schools Association leagues, which come with a lot of pressure,” Martinique adds.
This event was primarily a way of allowing them to relax and be in their zone.
“More fun festivities continued with our mounted Easter Egg Hunt on Good Friday.”
