NATIONAL ENTRIES NOW OPEN FOR CHI ROYAL WINDSOR HORSE SHOW IN ITS DIAMOND YEAR
Thursday 08 March 2018
Organisers of CHI Royal Windsor Horse Show, which is celebrating its 75th year this year, are pleased to announce National Entries for the 2018 event, taking place from 9 – 13 May, are open this week.
Entries for Show Jumping classes open today and will close on 13th March. Entries for all other national classes will open tomorrow, 7th March, and will close on the 29th March.
The week’s action-packed programme, taking place across the Show’s five arenas, is expected to attract competitors of all ages from around the country as they strive for the highly sought after Supreme Ridden Showing Championship title, the highlight of the week’s competition, following in the footsteps of Her Majesty The Queen’s former racehorse Barbers Shop, ridden by Katie Jerram-Hunnable (pictured) in 2017.
On Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 May, National Show Jumping competitions will return to the Castle Arena for a series of classes, hosting the cream of British riders from Grade A to Novice level. Competitions include the Land Rover A & B Jumping won by local rider Laura Mantel at the 2017 event, and the Land Rover Inter Schools Show Jumping competition, an opportunity for school-age riders to go head-to-head.
Returning for the second year will be the hugely successful Oxford VS Cambridge Varsity competition on Saturday 12 May. The long-standing rivals will be contending in a two-part competition consisting of Dressage and Show Jumping.
