Day three of Chepstow Summer International kicked off with some fantastic Grand Prix action!

Georgina Ellis claimed top spot in the Small Tour Grand Prix with Croisiere, while Madison Heath and Ivory took the honours in the Medium Tour Grand Prix. 🥇

But the girl who stole the show today was Abigail Isaac, claiming not one but TWO titles in the Bronze Tour Grand Prix with Lady Jamie and Renkum Crossfire in the Silver Tour Grand Prix! The girl is absolutely on fire! 👏🔥

That's a wrap on Day Two of The Chepstow Summer International...

What a way to round off the first of our two Longines World Ranking classes, kindly sponsored by our fantastic friends at Equestrian Surfaces!

The weather finally decided to play ball, clearing up just in time for all 76 combinations who came forward to tackle Rafael Suarez’s testing course. With just 11 making it through to the jump-off, the pressure was on!

Sandy McLean & Gino F rose to the challenge in spectacular style, producing a brilliant round to take the lead — and they held on to it!

Last to go, Sally Goding & Spring Willow gave it absolutely everything in a thrilling attempt to sn**ch the win. They pushed Sandy all the way, but ultimately had to settle for a fantastic second place.

A huge thank you to Equestrian Surfaces for their continued support and sponsorship of our World Ranking classes. We’re incredibly grateful to have you alongside us and helping us put on such fantastic sport!

And that’s not all… 👀

Tomorrow, we head into the first of our Grand Prix classes and if today is anything to go by, we’re in for an absolute cracker!

Chepstow Summer International | 28th - 31st August 🪷

We’re delighted to share that the Chepstow Summer International is officially, completely SOLD OUT!

With both International and National entries now full, we’re incredibly grateful for the fantastic response and support from riders, owners and connections. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming everyone to Chepstow.

📋 A waiting list is being operated, so if you haven’t secured a place, don’t give up hope! Spaces may become available should there be any withdrawals.

A huge thank you to everyone who has entered and supported the event! We really appreciate it and can’t wait to see you all at Chepstow.

It's one win each for Wales (128cm) and Ireland (138cm), and two for England (148cm and Debut Teams) in today's incredible Home Pony team competitions.

Fresh from the Senior British Showjumping Team's Home Nations Cup victory, today's pony classes at Wales & West proved that the future of our sport is in very safe hands. The standard of riding, determination, and talent on display was simply outstanding.

A special mention goes to Tilly Wilson and Rinwood Louis, who were the only combination to produce a triple clear in the Pony Newcomers Second Round over Rafael Suarez's expertly judged course. A fantastic performance.
