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.

The Team at Wales & West Shows 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As the sun sets on the final day of the Second Rounds Show, record-breaking entries and record-breaking temperatures made for a weekend to remember ☀️🔥

Anna Power, not quite content with her second place finish yesterday in the Talent Seekers, rose to the challenge today in the Redpost Equestrian Foxhunter Second Round. Riding the small horse with the biggest heart, Calgary PH Z, Anna claimed the win in an incredibly fast and exciting jump-off. Second place went to Nick Benterman aboard Compton Park X, who answered every question asked of him. Congratulations to both combinations on securing their Horse of the Year Show tickets!

Iwan Carpenter rounded off what has been a fantastic week here at Wales & West by taking top spot in a competitive Wales & West 1.35m Grand Prix aboard Merllyn's Chacco B. Another thrilling jump-off kept everyone on the edge of their seats, with Ignacio Caba and Flying Star X finishing second, followed by Nicole Pavitt and Neil Bundock’s Rhodos Van De Kiekenboer in third.

Congratulations to everyone who drove away from the show with their Horse of the Year Show tickets secured - we can’t wait to cheer you all on in October!

What a weekend it has been. Brilliant sport, fantastic horses, and a lovely group of competitors who made the show such a pleasure from start to finish. Thank you all for your continued support.

As always, a huge thank you goes to our incredible team behind the scenes. To our course designers, judges, commentators, medics, catering team, stewards, photographers, arena party crew, ground staff and secretaries - thank you for the hard work, long days and commitment that keep everything running smoothly. We appreciate every single one of you.

A special mention also to Jamie at who always goes above and beyond supplying us with jumps and helping our arenas look their very best. Thank you for everything you do for us.

We hope everyone has a safe journey home and manages a quick recharge before we do it all again at the June Mixed in just a couple of weeks’ time.

Goodnight from all of us at Wales & West 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

☀️ The second day of Horse of the Year Show qualifying action delivered another fantastic day of sport in the stunning Welsh countryside, with glorious sunshine setting the perfect backdrop for a brilliant day of competition.

A huge 95 combinations came forward to tackle Raf Suarez’s technical and demanding course, with just 6 combinations returning for an exciting jump-off.

🏆 Pippa Goddard aboard the super talented mare PDV Constanza, owned by Tom Williams stormed into the lead to secure their coveted HOYS ticket.

🥈 Anna Power and the mighty Calgary PH Z produced a superb performance to take second place and also secure their place at HOYS.

🥉 Ellie Townend, first to go and first to produce a clear aboard Kallio B, claimed third place and the final HOYS qualifying ticket.

⭐ A special mention also goes to our highest placed 7-year-old, Abbie Bevan riding Optima De Ness, who also secured a HOYS ticket. The talented young horse jumped a beautifully clear first round, narrowly missing out on the jump-off with an unlucky time fault.

Congratulations to everyone who came forward today and made it such a competitive class.

📢 Please note there has been a change to tomorrow’s timetable. The Foxhunter has moved from the Equine America Arena and will now run in the Main Arena following the W&W 1.35m Grand Prix.

We look forward to another exciting day tomorrow with the Foxhunter Second Round alongside the W&W 1.35m Grand Prix! 🌞
