The Staffordshire based Weston Lawns Equitation Centre was hosting British Showjumping teams from all over the UK attending the Junior Inter-Academy Team Finals Competition held on 20th & 21st of August.

On the afternoon of the 20th, the packed venue held a round of the NAF British Showjumping Horse and Pony Five Star Performance Awards programme at one and two star levels.

Riders are required to perform a round of Showjumping and then display control skills in a dressage style round, working to a floor plan that includes walk, trot on both reins, canter on both reins and halt. The Showjumping section is judged separately on style.

The PONY Five Star Performance Awards are designed as a series of progressive standards which provide pony riders with a focus for their training, improved performance in the ring and improved stable management skills.

These awards start from instilling the correct basics and fundamentals through to encouraging young riders progression onto competitive pony riding through to supporting their step onto horses.

The aim of the programme is also to instil stable management knowledge, respect of the rules as well as ethics of sportsmanship and recognition of good performance over results. The awards also provide preparation for riders who wish to compete on Home Pony National teams and FEI International teams.

Well done to Libby and to all the Sussex British Showjumping Junior Academy team members for a lot of hard work and a truly fantastic two long days of heavy competition.

[The Telegraph] Olga White, owner of show jumper Peter Charles’s London Olympic ride Murka’s Vindicat, has bought a cloned yearling of 1988 Olympic silver medallist Gem Twist, regarded by many as the best equine physical specimen the sport has ever seen.

The International Equestrian Federation (FEI) recently relaxed constraints on the participation of clones though the yearling, Murka’s Gem, is primarily aimed at joining Team Murka’s breeding programme in 2013.

“It is absolutely unbelievable that we have a perfectly entire clone of Gem Twist,” said White.

“For my rider, Peter Charles, this is a dream come true. A few years ago we would not even have dreamed of it.

“Gem Twist was a horse with a heart of gold who would never say die. This is what makes a good show jumper into a great show jumper.”

Gem Twist was owned and bred by US show jumping legend Frank Chapot. The horse won team and individual silver under Greg Best at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the “world’s best horse” title at the 1990 Stockholm World Equestrian Games.
