hi all,
just a general question but i had a thought about why showing is not on tv or publicized enough, for example the show jumpers earn a fortune and is always on tv( eg. hickstead next week will be on tv but they will only cover the show jumping) and us the showing people put in alot of hard work and effort and seem to get bugger all out of it and was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to make the showing part a bit more famous...?

There has been some showing footage on the new horse & country tv channel There's also been a couple of petitions to try to get some coverage of the M&Ms at Olympia and HOYS on mainstream telly, but no success unfortunately. To be honest, if you're not into showing then it's probably not very interesting to watch - show jumping and eventing are much easier to understand!

We could do with Posh and Becks getting interested - Imm sure they would nip over from LA to show a Section A with Cruz riding it. To be honest if you are not a showing fan, showing is really boring I could sit and watch classes for hours but some friend who show jump would rather have root canal work with no pain relief rather than watch a showing class

They should televise the BSPS summer champs jumping classes in the main ring, especially the desert orchid and the open working hunters. Also the olympia qualifiers. Although..for the flat classes, surely this will just increase arguements and bit*hy comments as EVERYONE will be able to see what goes on!
