Following the cancellation of the British Riding Clubs (BRC) National Championships, Solihull were delighted to host an Inter Area Showjumping Championship show, giving riders the opportunity to compete after a year of hard work and qualification.
Riders from Areas 5, 6, 7, 9, 16, 18 and 20, who had successfully qualified for the cancelled NAF BRC Summer Championships at Lincoln, were invited to compete at the event.
The Inter Area Championships provided a fantastic opportunity for these riders to showcase their skills and compete alongside fellow qualifiers, ensuring that their dedication and achievements throughout the season could still be celebrated.
A huge thank you must go to all the volunteers and officials who made the event possible at such short notice. Their commitment, time and enthusiasm were instrumental in delivering a successful championship and creating a memorable experience for all the competitors.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Aspen Cooling for their very generous sponsorship of the event. Their support included providing rosettes, sashes and stable plaques for competitors to take home as a lasting memento of the occasion.
