Thursday 26 – 29 June 2008The All England Jumping Course, Hickstead
Hickstead is world famous for show jumping, and the British Jumping Derby Meeting remains one of the highlights of the British Equestrian Calendar as it approaches its 50th year! Over 15,000 spectators flock to our Sussex showground every year on Derby Day itself, to watch first hand the human and equine stars of the show jumping world battle the formidable course, including of course the famous Derby Bank.  “The DFS Derby is one of those events a bit like the Grand National where its not just the runners and riders that make the headlines but the course itself. Its an iconic show jumping contest, the like of which you won’t find anywhere else in the world, no other course asks this much of a test of horse and rider and no other course creates this type of drama.” Clare Balding, BBC Sport Presenter.  In 2007 Geoff Billington won the derby on Cassabacchus in fantastic style.
In addition to the course of which BBC Sport says “forget about the 28 fences that Grand National runners have to leap over at Aintree – these are child’s play when compared to Hickstead’s monsters”.
The British Jumping Derby Meeting hosts a full range of junior and senior national show jumping classes, with something for nearly every calibre of affiliated rider. As well as this, the many showing qualifiers we host for the Horse of the Year Show, and Hickstead’s famous Mini Challenge must not be overlooked. In short, the British Jumping Derby Meeting showcases equestrian talent from nearly every age and ability, and is a must for any horse-lover!
There is more to Hickstead though than just the Derby – there are a range of exciting events taking place these include:-
The only difficulty is choosing on which day to come!
One thing that can be guaranteed is that you will find something at Hickstead for every horse lover, whether its jumping, showing, dressage, eventing, driving or polo that particularly enthrals you...and for those members of the family who are slightly less 'equinely-inclined' don't panic....there are literally hundreds of shops for the girls to get lost in...and countless bars, restaurants and amusements for the boys to wait for the girls in!

Join top US horse trainer Mark Rashid at one of four 3-day clinics across the UK. Mark is author of 6 books and renowned for his gentle approach to problem solving from the horse’s point of view.  Many thanks to Viola Ehrenheim for the picture
American horseman, author and clinician Mark Rashid strives to work with horses in a way that preserves those essential parts of their nature: their power, their sensitivity, their subtlety and their desire to get along. Mark grew up under the tutelage of a wizened old horseman in the American Midwest, whose principles still form the foundation for the work he does today. Additionally, Mark Rashid studies and trains in the Japanese martial art of Aikido (which translated, means way of harmony), and incorporates the ideologies practiced in Aikido into his work with his horses and his students.  Many thanks to Viola Ehrenheim for the picture
Mark has been visiting the UK to work with students and their horses since 1999. Many may be familiar with his books, Considering the Horse, A Good Horse is Never a Bad Colour, Horses Never Lie, Life Lessons from a Ranch Horse, Horsemanship Through Life and Big Horses, Good Dogs and Straight Fences. Not only a quiet, humble, and respectful person and horseman, Mark is also an outstanding and patient teacher. Both riders and spectators greatly benefit from his very interactive approach that involves everyone in discussions and activities. He has no set agenda for each student and encourages the student to work with him on what they feel is most important for them and their horse. Dr. David Siemens, one of the top equine chiropractors in the US, travels with Mark to his UK clinics. He will be helping horses which have physical issues that may be contributing to training issues.
For more information about Mark Rashid please visit his website by clicking here.  Clinic format Spectators will not be left out at all during any of these sessions. Mark encourages everyone to participate and there is always a very relaxed and open atmosphere where all are welcome to ask questions. There will also be a session where all spectators and riders alike will be working together in the arena to experiment with exercises in energy flow and mental intention.

Horses Inside Out is an organisation giving lecture demonstrations to riders of all levels. The lectures focus on how, by understanding the anatomy and physiology of our horses, we can improve performance, and reduce the risk of injury. The lectures are given by Gillian Higgins, a well respected Sports and Remedial Therapist based in Cirencester. In the course of her work Gillian identified that many riders could benefit from a deeper understanding of, ‘How the horse works’
 At a Horses Inside Out demonstration, the muscular skeletal system will be explained and you will be shown with the help of actual bones, the relevance of the muscular skeletal system to the training of the horse.
Following a short break, you will then be shown how the horse moves on the flat and over jumps. The demonstrations are interactive and there is the opportunity to ask questions.
