Show Jumping Grand Prix 2007

Grass roots equestrianism is set to get a boost this season thanks to Long Reach Events and Land Rover.

Long Reach Events have announced a fantastic new event in their 2007 calendar. Sunday 23rd September 2007 will see the first running of an event the likes of which has never been seen at unaffiliated level. The event is an unaffiliated Show Jumping Grand Prix and thanks to support from Guy Salmon Land Rover the event offers an amazing £1,500 prize fund.

The Grand Prix will be unlike any other event and at just 85cm (2’9”) it will allow the widest number of unaffiliated riders to have a go. The event will be run in true Grand Prix style over three rounds with the top 30 riders going forward to the third round, a speed round at 90cm (3’0”). The fantastic prize fund will be split right down the line with the winner receiving an unprecedented £450.00 whilst tenth place will still win £50.00.

We are hugely grateful to Guy Salmon Land Rover for their support in this incredible event and without industry support it would not be possible to inject passion and of course money into the grass roots of equestrianism.

Normally it is only the big events and the big names that receive industry support so support such as this at the lower levels of the sport is long overdue. After all, every top name had to start in the unaffiliated events and some still make use of good unaffiliated venues to give young horses outings as part of their education.

To celebrate their support of the Grand Prix, three Guy Salmon dealerships have created a very special offer. Visit one of the participating dealers and you could be driving away a brand new Land Rover with 2 years free servicing.

Choose from the award winning Discovery 3, the Range Rover or Range Rover Sport, the versatile Defender or the amazing new Freelander 2. All available with 2 years free servicing. (Offer is subject to terms and conditions.) To take advantage of this offer just pop into one of the three Guy Salmon Land Rover dealerships at Ascot, Thames Ditton or Gatwick.

Red on the Right have also brought out a range of merchandise commemorating the event.
