KBIS British Equestrian Insurance Celebrate Seventh Year of Title Sponsorship of the British Showjumping Senior British Novice Championship
Tuesday 17 March 2015
Equestrian insurance specialists, KBIS British Equestrian Insurance, will be continuing their longstanding support of British Showjumping via the renewal of their title sponsorship of the British Showjumping Senior British Novice Championship. Today’s announcement sees KBIS celebrate their seventh year of commitment to this well supported series which attracts in the region of 40,000 starts for the first round competitions alone.
The KBIS Insurance Senior British Novice Championship Series is for registered horses in Grade C that have not won a total of 125 points and they are to be ridden by Adult, Associate or Junior Members. This year’s series concludes during the British Showjumping National Championships at the National Agricultural and Exhibition Centre (NAEC), Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire (11th – 16th August 2015). Katie Shaw took the coveted Championship title last year with Cyloma Z, owned by Janette Davidson. The combination proved unbeatable after securing a double clear in 30.94 seconds, a time which proved to be too quick for the seventy-two other combinations.
