SHOWJUMPING Ireland this week announced the launch of the National Amateur Showjumpers League for 2022. Joint sponsors Orchard Equestrian and Newmarket Architectural and Planning Services (NAPS) have come together in a sponsorship package worth over €4,000. This exciting new league will be run at selected shows this summer, with combinations gaining points towards the overall prize giving ceremony.
Along with the national title, the leading rider on points will be crowned an Orchard Equestrian ambassador - a package that includes a €1,000 voucher, jacket and 15% discount code for 12 months. The runner-up prize is a €750 voucher, with very generous prizes on offer for the top 10 riders.
The league kicks off in style at Newmarket On Fergus show tomorrow (Sunday, May 1st). This is also the local show of keen amateur rider Derrick Burke, a joint sponsor of the league, where he competes with Tyreda Chip.
Managing director of Orchard Equestrian, Aiden Devine, said: “Amateur Riders are amongst our keenest customers, so we are very happy to build on our relationship with them.”
Fantastic fun
Joint sponsor Derrick Burke added: “I have had such fantastic fun and made such great friends on the amateur circuit over the years, it is great to get this opportunity to give something back. I am particularly delighted that the inaugural competition will be held at my local show in Newmarket On Fergus.”
Chairperson for SJI Amateur Riders, Aideen Kirby, concluded: “Amateurs are a very important and growing sector of show jumping. Many riders combine busy work and study commitments with competing and caring for their horses. Orchard Equestrian offers a superb range of equestrian products online, and are a perfect partner in the sponsorship of this National Amateur League.”
