In memoriam; Her Majesty The Queen

On behalf of the British Showjumping community, we offer our heartfelt condolences to King Charles III   and all members of the Royal Family at this incredibly sad time.

Charles Britton, Chairman of British Showjumping said: “In June this year, not only did we celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s Jubilee but it was also a year that signified 70 years of her Patronage of British Showjumping, a fact of which we are all very proud.”

British Olympian David Broome CBE commented: “Her Majesty always, always appreciated horses. What an example Her Majesty gave to all horse people of how to just get on with life; riding out, even in her nineties - that was just phenomenal.”
