British Breeding at its Best
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
The British Young Horse Championships took place at Addington Manor from 5th to 8th August and were hailed a huge success. Classes for four, five, six and seven year old horses took place and with generous sponsorship for all the classes. This included a prize fund which was shared between all horse and rider combinations consistently jumping fault free rounds over the three days of the Show. These classes were kindly sponsored by the BSJA/BEF Equine Pathway, supported by the World Class Programme through UK Sport and Lottery Funding. The winners of this prize fund were:
