‘Equine Affairs & BE Grasshoppers Show Jumping Series 2008’

With over 90 entries for the Grasshoppers Final at Moreton Morrell the Intro & Pre-Novice titles for 2008 were hotly contested. Our winners as pictured below saw off fierce competition from runners up Rosanna Lambert & Beth Cosgrove.

The final course built by Mike Benfield tested all combinations combining show jumping with a short cross country style phase.

Congratulations to all riders and our thanks go to our trainers & judges, Gill Watson & Caro Haynes. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

    ‘Working to improve the availability of accurate information and improving communication nationwide’
    We are pleased to announce 2 new partnerships which will benefit riders, clubs and centres nationwide.
    Equine Affairs have completed the implementation of the new scheduling system into the BD Head Office on target and with no problems! We are now introducing the RDO's and then we will be introducing the Secretaries! This is the UK’s first national scheduling management system.
    What does this mean?

    All BD Secretaries will have the option to logon to the Equine Affairs system and enter their dates and schedules for confirmation by BD. They will be able to double check all information in their schedules before it goes live onto the BD & Equine Affairs websites and into the Magazine. If the secretaries and BD use the system carefully it will ensure that all data that the riders receive should be 100% accurate eliminating typos, incorrect closing dates and late entry queries and more.

    For Riders this simply means that as soon as a British Dressage date or a schedule is confirmed by a secretary or by the BD office you will have the information first!

    Equine Affairs have completed the software for BRC for providing their first National online Preliminary Entries System. This will mean a representative from each Riding Club will be able to go on and easily manage their entries whilst being overseen by the BRC Head Office Administrators. Watch this space for the BRC Go Live date. The launch is waiting for BRC to enter their Prelim Event Entry Data.
