The new Performance of the Month Award is an amalgamation of the former Showjumper and Owner of the Month Awards, and recognises the achievements of not just our riders, but our horses and owners too.
Chairman of Performance Development at British Showjumping, Clare Whitaker commented:
“We are delighted to announce the amalgamation of the Show Jumper and Owner of the Month Awards, into one monthly Award; ‘Performance of the Month’. The new award will not only recognise the fantastic achievements of our riders, but also our horses and their owners, without which none of it would be possible.
It gives me great pleasure to award the August Performance of the Month to Fresh Direct Kalico Bay, Collin Garratt and Tim Stockdale, for their incredible win in the King George V Gold Cup. My congratulations go to them and their hard working Team”.
