The eagle eyed amongst you will notice the final September show will now be held earlier than usual at the start of September to accomodate the North West Showing Championships which moves to a new later September date.

We will return to the Cheshire Riding School showground in 2012 with the usual Showjumping, Working Hunter, Showing, Equitation & Handy Pony rings. 2012 will also see the return of the North West Showjumping & Working Hunter Championships over the August Bank Holiday.

We would also like to hold clinics again – please let us know if there is anything specific you would like to concentrate on.

Sunday 22nd May 2011 @ Cheshire Riding School Showground

After 2 back to back shows in April, it seems like a very long time since our last show! Our last 2 shows have been incredible, our Easter Show was one of the best ever and that isn’t just us saying that. We had a huge number of emails from you saying how much you enjoyed the show. Thank you as always for your support.

We return on Sunday 22nd May with a trophy show. All class winners take home a trophy. Qualifiers include UK Showing, Midarc, Beaver Hall Championships, Equifest, Blue Chip North West Showing Championships, North West Working Hunter Championships and North West Show Jumping Championships.

This show will have Traditional Gypsy Cob Association (TGCA) ridden qualifier before lunch in the equitation ring, and in-hand directly after the judge has had a lunch break. There are rosettes to the highest placed solid colour too!

Unfortunately we have taken the decision to cancel Sunday 15th August’s show. This is not a decision we make easily as we put a huge amount of effort into preparing each show, however horse welfare is always our number 1 priority.

It has been made known to us that there is a case of strangles in the area and although the case will be totally cleared in time for the show we as a club feel that with so many horses coming from all over the North West, it’s not worth taking the risk for Sunday 15th.

We are really sorry to cancel however we hope you understand and appreciate our decision. Any pre-entries will be carried over to September’s show. For those who were coming to qualify for the North West Showjumping & Working Hunter Championships please click here for information about Wildcard entry.

We look forward to seeing you on bank holiday weekend for the North West Showjumping & Working Hunter Championships.

August’s show will be another medal show, so if you missed out coming first today then don’t worry get ready for August for another chance of winning a medal!

August’s show will be your last chance to qualify for the North West Show Jumping and Working Hunter championships as qualifiers include North West Show Jumping Championships & North West Working Hunter Championships, Midland Association of Riding Clubs (MARC) and UK Showing.

We look forward to seeing you again at our July show on Sunday 25th July. July’s show will be a medal show.

Now in it’s 6th year, the 2010 North West Show Jumping Championships will be held once again on the August Bank Holiday weekend at the Bridgewater Riding Club Showground @ Brookhouse Equestrian Centre in Cheshire. Ponies competing on Saturday 28th August and horses on Sunday 29th August.  In 2009, riders traveled from 10 counties to compete, representing over 25 riding clubs and shows.

We are looking for sponsors for classes, rosettes, trophies and jumps. If you are interested in sponsoring the Championships, please see the sponsor page for more information.

The list of qualifying shows can be found on the qualifiers page.
