The joy of jumping on horseback
Local competitions continue with show jumping, jump cross, jump mix and more
Hello everyone,
As I type this, all the preparations have come to an end and Balmoral Show is almost over. So many horse and pony enthusiasts attend the show, whether as competitors or as spectators, to view the numerous showing and working hunter, as well as both national and international show jumping classes… And maybe to do a bit of shopping while they’re there…!
Many people have had a very busy week, so I will keep this short and sweet. Suffice to say that thankfully the weather has been kind, so I hope all has gone well for those competing and that spectators have had a most enjoyable show!
