What happens to the show jumps after the games?

[Slightly Foxed]

Will they be sold off? I don't fancy them appearing at Addington or somewhere! Beautiful jumps though.

Apparently there is a site - I haven't found it yet -where you can buy anything, even the beds!

Interesting!

I thought I read somewhere that the beds were donated to a third world country for their hospital

The horsey magazines could have had a competition where you could win one. A few years ago when we went to Trailblazer SJ finals one of the jumps was given as a prize to a magazine competition winner.

I did wonder the same!

 

[Flummoxed]

I'd wondered this. I'd like Tower Bridge (to look at, not jump)!

 

[CalllyH]

We were wondering if we could buy them!

The surface is also for sale.

One or more will probably go to Spruce Meadows. They have quite a collection of Olympic fences. Here are a few photos of some of their fences. I rather like the Coins, but the butterfly one is pretty too.

Yo can buy the left over equipment through this company http://www.london2012.com/business/asset-sales/

If I had my cynical hat on I'd say they will probably be sold at a song to some rich establishment person or attached to the Olympics or one of the sponsors. It seems to be the way thins work.

Great if you want a defibrillator or a commercial sat nav but no equestrian listed :-(

I heard the surface was sold to BCA

I'd like the Lions for my garden - they would fill it up but look rather good.

If you google "Remains of the Games" you'll get website when you can buy the furniture, at good prices; I don't know if anything else is on there but it might be worth a look.

Im at BCA and we did indeed buy the surface for our new outdoor arena. Have to agree not sure i'd want those jumps at my college!!!

What - all 7 arenas and the gallops? Blimey!
