Howe to keep the Buzz in Showjumping over the winter

Monday 28 November 2016

Starting next weekend (December 4th) and then having one day in each of January, February and March - Howe country Centre have created something to keep a bit of a buzz in the adult BS category two shows - with the Championship Show on April 1st and 2nd.
The schedule caters for practically everyone and is designed to encourage riders to produce their horses consistently over good courses and be able to move up a level when they are ready.

Points will be awarded for clear rounds - 1 point if 1 clear is jumped in the single or two phase - and 3 points if a double clear is jumped. At the end of the fourth qualifying show the top 25 in the points table will qualify for the Championship class relevant to where they gained their points. The first and second prize winners in each class will also have direct qualification irrelevant of how many points they have. 

The April schedule is still work in progress but the prize fund is looking good - and when it comes out you will want to be one of the finalists! 

The schedule will be on Howe Country Centres Facebook page and website for each of the qualifying shows.
