9th April 2010- VISIT TO BIRMINGHAM N.E.C - BRITISH OPEN SHOW JUMPING CHAMPIONSHIPS...
I was very excited to be visiting the NEC last Friday to watch the British Open Show jumping championships. It was a fantastic day out for all of the family which did not disappoint.
There were various amazing classes, Accumulator, British Open Championship class, A very interesting Dressage Demo which I will report on in a separate post, Various acts and displays which were wonderful and of course the puissance!!
The puissance was a very exciting class, some of the horses were quite naughty which made good entertainment. It's amazing to see how big and grand the wall is in real life. The atmosphere was buzzing and some very interesting commentating by Geoff Billington made it great fun! It was won in the fourth round at 7 foot by local rider Mark Bunting, this was his first big win so look out for him in future shows!
And of course there was the shopping village, and which girl doesn't love shopping :) Overall a fab day out and I can't wait til HOYS!!!
