Return to Hull proves big hit

"Many people remembered the show when it was at its peak in the 70s and they were thrilled to see it back in the park," said area secretary Sharon Cawood.

British Show Jumping's area representative, Michael Bainbridge, of the Port Royal Equestrian Centre, was instrumental in staging the event and said he wanted to share the fun of show-jumping with people who may not have the chance to see it before.

SEVENTY-five riders and nearly 30 helpers turned out for a pleasure ride which was held at Broughton Hall near Skipton on Sunday.

The weather was perfect and riders enjoyed the opportunity to hack over land not normally accessible to the public.

The ride raised over 1,400 which will go to Yorkshire and Cleveland Riding for the Disabled and Trawden and District Bridleways.

TWO pleasure rides are coming up in the Wakefield and Doncaster areas.

The first is on September 5 when the ninth of the BHS/Trans Pennine Trail 21st anniversary rides will take place at Wintersett near Wakefield.

For details and entries see the TPT website.

The second is on September 12 when the West Riding group of Endurance Great Britain will hold their last competition ride of the season near Doncaster.

There will be two rides for non-competitive riders of 32 and 25 kilometres.
