| More excitement at
Equus… |
 |
Equus 2001 is set to be huge success
providing lots of chances for all horse lovers, owners and riders to buy
products for the season ahead. The demonstrations have now been
finalised with 3 new additions: Working Equitation, excerpts from the new
performance of The Legend of Spain and the Chase me Charlie competition for the
Equus Charity Shield.
Working Equitation is a discipline new to
Britain and has been creating a lot of excitement amongst riders, keen to
get involved. The competition includes a combination of flatwork movements plus
testing the ability of horse and rider to deal with a number of
obstacles.
The Chase me Charlie competition will be
held at the end of each day, five competitors including the Whitaker family
will be competing against each other each day culminating with the winner
receiving the Equus Charity Shield on the final Sunday – a
competition which we expect to be fiercely contested in future years. Monies
raised from this competition will be given to the winner’s choice of
charity.
Equus is clearly making its mark in the equine
industry and is being considered as the venue for next year’s FEI World
Cup Dressage Competition after narrowly missing out this year to
Denmark.
Despite common preconceptions ExCeL in the
Royal Docks is very easy to get to, just 20 minutes via Dual Carriageway from
the M25 and easily accessible via the Jubilee Line and DLR from central
London.
Tickets Sales have got off to a terrific
start for Equus – The Horse Event. There has been lots of excitement
for this new event and interest has not just been from equine followers in the
South East but from all over the UK including parts of Scotland.
