British Showjumping ‘Just for Schools’ Winter Championships 2017
Wednesday 29 March 2017

The inaugural ‘Just for Schools’ Winter Championships took place at Wales and West Shows in Chepstow during 18th - 19th March giving two fantastic days of showjumping for those that took part. With a whole host of classes from ‘Just for Schools’ League classes through to the Championship Finals it was a great opportunity for all of our ‘Just for Schools’ members to participate and experience the atmosphere that a championship show provides.
The highlight of the weekend had to be the Championship Finals which ran over heights 70cm – 1.10m and were open to both teams and individuals. The team podium was dominated by the Kings of Wessex School teams as they scooped four out of the five titles on offer, while the individual classes were topped by riders representing schools from different areas across the country.
Well done to everyone who competed and we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the ‘Just for Schools’ Summer Championships which are held at the British Showjumping National Championships at Stoneleigh Park in August!!
