The national show jumping event is taking place at Wesley Clover Parks from Thursday to Sunday.“It really is a fun, beautiful way to see these horses jumping,” said Karen Sparks, the executive director of Wesley Clover Parks.
“The jumpers are everywhere from tiny juniors, who are six to seven years old, all the way to 70-plus,” Sparks said. “You see men and women competing equally and you see all beautiful colours of horses.” “If you really want to do this thing, you better love horses first of all, because it is a seven day a week thing, 365 days of the year,” said Millar. “You can never record it as a job, it’s not that, it’s a labour of love and you better learn everything there is to know about a horse,” he added.
