Competitors will be travelling from all over NSW, Victoria and Queensland to compete in four days of world class showjumping.  

The Showjumping Celebration will be run from Sunday, December 28 through to December 31, covering all levels of the horse and rider combinations. 

Events will range from the small class for local riders, which includes x-rail, 45cm and 65cm, through to the the Grand Hotel Bega Showjumping Cup.

This year, riders will be jostling for a share in more than $18,000 worth of prizes. 

 The Bega Showjumping Club extends a welcome to the public to head along and watch an action-filled four-day program. 

Highlights for spectators to watch are the junior and open six bars and this year organisers have included a x-rail six bar on Sunday afternoon, the mini prix and Grand Hotel Cup on Tuesday and both the Futurity and Speed Class on Wednesday afternoon.

Brad Longhurst and Charles Archer will be course designers for the two rings during the event. 

Meanwhile, Michael Archer and Greg Grant will  judge rings  one and two respectively.  

Organisers are looking forward to seeing the challenging course layouts set by the gents. 

Grant Hughes will be travelling down from Canberra with a team of seven horses and will start both Yakkity Yak and Blackall Park Atlantis in this year’s cup.  

Hughes is a long time competitor and supporter of the Bega Showjumping Club and the cup, and is currently coaching local rider Clint Beresford.

 There are approximately 12 horse and rider combinations entered in this year’s pinnacle event.  

Included in the line-up are local riders Lane Clarke,who will once again be the youngest rider to start in the cup, Brett Clarke, Deon Williams. Craig Matthews and Clint Beresford.

 The Bega Showjumping Club thanks all past and present sponsors.  

Organisers said without this support events such as the Bega Cup could not run.
