Border Districts Showjumping Club held a pop-up show on Saturday, October 8 after a string of cancelled showjumping classes at agricultural shows due to continued wet weather.

The “no frills” event – minus ribbons but with prize money up for grabs – was well-supported with 46 riders and more than 100 horses.
