Regional Academy Championships
British Showjumping is pleased to launch the new Regional Academy Championships, offering Academy riders an exciting opportunity to showcase their skills in a competitive yet supportive championship environment.
British Showjumping Academies are designed to provide progressive, structured coaching rather than one-off training sessions. Delivered by experienced British Showjumping Coaches, the Academy programme focuses on developing riding ability, improving horse knowledge and building confidence, all while maintaining a fun and inclusive atmosphere for riders of all ages and ability.
The Regional Academy Championships are a natural extension of the Academy pathway, giving riders the chance to put their training into practice while competing alongside fellow Academy members from across the country. The Championships are open to members from any British Showjumping Academy, allowing riders to compete, connect and share experiences with Academy members beyond their own region.
The first of these Regional Academy Championship Shows will take place in February at Forest Edge Arena (East) and Morris Equestrian Centre (Scotland). Riders will compete in a true championship setting, with the opportunity to win rugs, sashes and rosettes. Championship Shows for the remaining regions will follow in March and April.
Each Regional Academy Championship Show will feature a full programme of classes, including five individual classes and five team classes for riders on both horses and ponies, across a range of heights. In addition, a variety of Club and National classes will be offered, ensuring the Championships are accessible, rewarding and inclusive for all Academy members, regardless of experience level or membership type.
