Show Jumping in Shropshire in 2011
Posted by Chris on February 10th, 2011During 2011 Netley Hall will be holding 3 major equestrian events:
Netley Hall Estate is a rural haven in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, yet only six miles from the
famous historic mediaeval town of flowers, Shrewsbury.
The Prestigious Hall was commissioned by Mr Thomas Henry Hope-Edwards in 1855 and designed by
the famous architect Edward Haydock. The Estates grounds cover an extensive 160 acres, with 6 lakes,
22 holiday cottages and superb equestrian facilities.
The Events
In conjunction with The British Show Jumping Association (BSJA) and Sky Sports Netley Hall’s aim is to raise the
profile of British Show Jumping to the general public with the help of the country’s top riders.
Netley Hall wants to encourage people to support and follow one of the only sports in the world where men
and women compete on a level playing field.
They have developed three events this year that will include an equestrian aspect attracting the very
best riders in Pony show jumping with top prizes as well as fantastic general public attractions that
even those not interested in the sport can enjoy. They are expecting in excess of 3000 members of the
general public and equestrian competitors per event.
