HOYS Wildcard Qualifier at Towerlands Park
Friday 11 September 2009
This weekend (11th – 13th September) Towerlands Park near Braintree, Essex will play host to one of the qualifying competitions that gives British riders the opportunity to compete in the International classes at the forthcoming Horse of the Year Show (HOYS), which will be staged at Birmingham’s NEC from 7th – 11th October 2009.
As well as ten of the British leading riders1 who are automatically eligible to compete at the world’s most famous horse show, an additional two places are selected from the qualifiers held at Unex Towerlands and two from Arena UK, Grantham, Lincolnshire (23rd – 25th September).
Horse of the Year Show’s International classes commence on Thursday 8th October and finish with the prestigious HOYS Leading Show Jumper of the Year Grand Prix, which takes place during Sunday’s Gala Night performance. With some of the world’s best riders making up the rest of the field and a prize fund in excess of £100,000, these heavily contested wildcard places are highly sought after.
Horse of the Year Show takes place at the NEC, Birmingham from Wednesday 7th – Sunday 11th October 2009.
