Graham Babes wins British Young Horse Showjumping Championships

Wednesday 23 August 2017

Quality, scope and rideability could be found at the British Young Horse Showjumping Championships at Addington Manor, with promising horses taking the titles and clear round bonus prizes.

Graham Babes landed the British-bred six-year-old with the consistent Glencoe with a well-executed, ultra-fast round in the 10-strong jump-off to take victory by 0.99 seconds.

The Chellthago Z x Numero Uno gelding was purchased as a yearling by Graham’s father George, but when the now-broken horse was viewed for sale, Graham himself stepped in and bought him.

“He’s sharp and a character, but in the long run this will stand him in good stead, he has star quality and easily took out a stride from one to two and to the last,” said Graham, who will contend the HOYS newcomers and grade C finals.

NB: Qualifications will be updated pending official grading of results.
