Record
Entries For Britain's Biggest Horse Show |
With
the nation’s best show jumpers, 28 jumping classes, 1,759 showing
entries, international driving and the world’s finest backdrop,
the magnificent Windsor Castle, Royal Windsor Horse Show is set
to be another magical horse show (15th-19th May 2002). Over 3,000
entries have been received.
A
total of 1,198 entries have been received for the showjumping, including
those from 9 of the top 10 riders in the UK including the Whitakers,
Tim Stockdale, Robert Smith and Geoff Glazzard who will be competing
in a wide range of classes including the climax of the jumping classes,
the Mappin & Webb Grand Prix on Sunday 19th May worth £15,000
in prize money alone.
The
all weather surface has given the organisers the scope to run a
wider variety of classes and one of the rare treats will be the
chance to see the Six Bar competition outside.
A
favourite class of HM The Queen, Her Majesty The Queen’s Challenge
Cup for Services Team Jumping gives both Service and Cadet teams
the chance to demonstrate their jumping skills. This year representation
will include the RAF, the Royal Navy and Harrow, Eton and Wellington
CCFs.
As
well as enjoying top class show jumping, showing including the Horse
& Hound British Isles Showing Championship, Land Rover International
Carriage Driving Grand Prix and dressage, visitors to the show can
look forward to indulging in some shopping in over 150 trade stands.
The audience will be over-awed by the skills of the world famous
American ‘Horse Whisperer’ Monty Roberts and spellbound
by La Gardé Republicaine’s elegant tandem quadrille.
