New
Class For Amateurs At Hickstead
Owner
and amateur showjumper Mrs Julia Harrison-Lee is supporting a new
class at Hickstead's British Jumping Derby Meeting which she hopes
will help to improve standards in the sport.
The
Hickstead Amateur Championship, supported by the yachting team GBR
Team Challenge, with which Mrs Harrison-Lee is involved, is not
open to riders in the top 100 of the BSJA Riders Ranking or anyone
who has competed on a senior Nations Cup team.
The
two-phase competition will send a final 12 riders forward to the
championship in the International Arena, where the winner will earn
a purse of £500.
Mrs
Harrison-Lee said: "I hope that this championship will help
amateur riders learn about technical courses as well as giving them
a chance to compete in Hickstead's International Arena."
