It was all smiles at Golden Cross as this event kicked off amid a background of World Cup fever. The weather was kind, the atmosphere friendly and the hospitality generous. Who could ask for more, except of course for some excellent show jumping - and we were not disappointed.

This, the eighth in the series was another superb event, very entertaining and great fun for the competitors and spectators. As with previous years, the Challenge was held at The Golden Cross Equestrian Centre near Hailsham, who managed the event superbly.
