Show Jumping
What Is Showjumping?
Showjumping requires athleticism, control and accuracy from both horse and rider over a set course of knockable fences which include verticals, spreads, double and/or triple combinations, with a variety of turns and changes of direction. The aim is to jump cleanly over the set course without knocking down the fences, refusing or running out. For many classes, this must be achieved within an allotted time to go through to the next round, known as the ‘jump-off’. The jump-off is against the clock over a shortened course and determines the winner – the combination with the fastest time and the least amount of faults wins.

Our Judges
Working Hunter & Show Jumping Judges Pierre Baber and Paul Urch
A little bit about our wonderful pair of judges !
About Pierre - I have been riding since the age of 5 (A long time ago!), in my youth I was a member of Pony Club assisting to run rallies, shows and anything else I could get roped into.
I then spent several years at a small showing yard where I learnt a great deal which gave me an insight to the world of showing. Although we had mainly ridden show ponies we also had working hunter ponies & horses, all theses were shown with considerable success up and down the country.
In time I changed to Show Jumping and, in those years, have qualified for Horse of the Year show on a few occasions one of the First times being in the the Senior Foxhunter Championship, then followed by two senior British Novice championships.
I have since Ridden at a lower national level for the past 30 years and still dip my toes into the working Hunters occasionally!
About Paul - I started riding at the age of 2 and progressed onto Lead rein & first ridden show ponies with considerable success.
After competing the 12.2hh show ponies I had the Show Bumping bug took over and I was hooked!
Along the way I Unfortunately just missed the Young rider’s championship held at Olympia by one point back in the 1980’s.
Since then I have competed at most national championships even after my stroke in 2016.
Now I continue to support venues with my BS course building and judging which gives me great pleasure. Like my co judge when time permitted, I dipped back into the working hunters.
