New £1,000 show horse showcase
Ridden hunter, hack, cob and riding horse competitors will now have a chance to compete for substantial prize money in the Deanwater Hotel Ridden Show Horse Championship, to be held at the North of England Summer Show at Osbaldeston on 10 July.
The champion will be awarded a £1,000 first prize, while the reserve will take home £500. Prize money continues down the line to eighth place, with sashes to the champion and reserve and rosettes to all other prize winners and finalists.
