Thanks both, will add them to the list lol

Other than Matthew Sampson, various Whitakers (over in Barnsly ish) and Emily Portas in north Derbyshire, are the any other professional showjumpers based in or around Sheffield? TIA

Vicky Tulloch has been winning again abroad, this time in Mullingar, winning both the speed class and the GP on her amazing mare Soliegette. So another Well Done Vicky! not sure which other british women are winning abroad at the moment though...

And I think vicky had a second win in Devon over a 1.40m corse

So, first round is out of the way, and what do people think so far? I followed it last year and really enjoyed it, it was a good size course, pleanty of competitiors and I like the fact it was a series as it gave me somthing to follow. Round one in devon and only 2 went clear out of 40, so...

Thats cool you managed to get sponsored boogles :) So, basically sounds like its worse than applying for jobs lol Just ask everyone and then aske them again by the sounds of it haha Kind of think though (although is might already exist) that there should be some one at BD, BE and BSJA...

[ QUOTE ] For my sponsors, I wear their branded jacket over my normal competition jacket to warm up in etc. but as soon as I'm in the ring, there is no branding on me or the horse at all. My sponsors did want their logo on my saddlecloth but where put off by the rules the BSJA and BE stipulate...

just wondering what peoples thoughts were on this... Do you think the strict dress codes in show jumping and dressage diminish the opportunities for riders to get sponsorship as they can not wear product related colours? And in turn do you think this is a missed opportunity for getting greater...

Thanks every one for answers so far. I think I need to loose a little weight - would be good to get back below 11 stone again, and actually just do something rather then nothing! I have never got on with swimming (I sink), but I think I am getting a plan to gether. I think if I can work up to...

My young mare is coming on well, and next year I want to start compeating her in showjumping competitions. So to give us the best chance of doing well I think that I need to get in training too (not just my horse!). I have been riding for 4 years now, but have yet to start compeating...
