Riders from the length and breadth of the country gathered at Hartpury Arena, Gloucestershire for five exhilarating days of competition at this year’s Blue Chip Winter Showjumping Championships. In its 25th year, these Championships can be where dreams are won or lost and this year has proved to be no exception.
Hannah Vincent from Norwich, Norfolk lifted the Haygain Hay Steamers Diamond Championship title with her ‘horse of a lifetime’ Jabberwocky, a 12 year-old black gelding. The pair produced a double clear, storming the jump off round in just 26.38 seconds.
“He’s amazing, I’ve hardly competed the last two years as I was setting up my own business running a riding school, but he’s come back as good as ever,” said Hannah.
