The legendary John Whitaker will jump at the Charles Stanley British Masters
Monday 06 June 2011

The first day in July will see riders from across the world descend upon SouthView Equestrian Centre in Cheshire for the Charles Stanley British Masters.
John Whitaker, a man who needs no introduction, has confirmed along with a number of other British and International Riders that he will be attending the three day show.
The show will take place between the 1st - 3rd July 2011 at SouthView Equestrian Centre in Cheshire. The event will be a superb showcase for spectators to experience the thrill and excitement of top level showjumping.
The 2011 British Masters also has the added excitement of it being just one of three opportunities in England for riders to gain their competency qualification for London 2012 and with classes up to 1.60m in height and in excess of £100,000 prize money; we can expect strong competition across the horses and riders taking part.
Sheldon Philips, Head of Regional Major Events at the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) said
“The British Masters has become one of the most important events on the calendar for British Showjumping. Events such as this make an important contribution to the regional economy, bringing visitors into the area and boosting local investment. I am delighted two major British names are signed up for the event, which contributes to our agreement with British Showjumping to support Team GB with their preparations for a successful London 2012.”
So come along and enjoy this truly challenging and exciting sport first hand for as little as £5 per person. Alternatively you can treat yourself to a ringside VIP ticket by taking a hospitality package which will seat you amongst riders, owners and sponsors in the fully licensed VIP marquee.
