Royal Festival of the Horse Showjumping

Thirty of the highest ranked riders in the UK and selected overseas riders have been invited to the Festival to compete for a share of a £45,000 showjumping prize fund. The Festival will host two classes, the Festival Accumulator and the Festival Grand Prix. Both classes are set to be thrilling competitions involving some of the best known names in the sport so make sure you take your seat to watch the drama unfold!

Royal Festival of the Horse Accumulator

This is a 1.45m showjumping speed class where horse and rider will have to display extraordinary speed and accuracy around the course to scoop the £3,000 first prize. Riders accumulate points for each obstacle jumped clear and then face an optional joker fence with a greater degree of difficulty at 1.60m. This will give riders a dilemma, should they take a chance to grab the lead or risk knocking it down and losing everything? The fastest rider with the most points will be the winner.

Prize money: 1st = £3,000, 2nd = £2,000, 3rd = £1,250, 4th = £1,000, 5th = £750, 6th = £500, 7th = £375, 8th = £375, 9th = £375, 10th = £375,

Royal Festival of the Horse Grand Prix

A true test of horse and rider agility and talent, the Festival Grand Prix will be a tough course built to a maximum of 1.60m. Consisting of two rounds of jumping, where all clear rounds in the first round, or the best 5 scores, go through to the second round jump off. All scores from the first round are carried through to the jump off where riders will jump a shortened course against the clock. The fastest rider with the least faults after the jump off will take home the £10,000 first prize.

Prize Money: 1st = £10,000, 2nd = £7,500, 3rd = £6,000, 4th = £4,000, 5th = £3,000, 6th = £2,000, 7th = £1,000, 8th = £500, 9th = £500, 10th = £500.
