Geoff Billington and Bob Ellis to host lecture demo series
Showjumper Geoff Billington and Olympic course-designer Bob Ellis are joining forces for a special lecture demo series, “From Both Sides of the Fence”.
Geoff will discuss his experiences as a rider at the Atlanta and Sydney Games, while Bob will discuss the challenges he faced when designing the course for London 2012. They will cover all levels of the sport, from grass roots to Olympic competition.
The demo will take place at 14 equestrian venues across the UK during January and February. Those signed up so far include Addington Manor, Bishop Burton, Reaseheath and Rodbaston.
