News Desk — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 09:22:09 +0000

Greg Broderick has had an enviable season this year claiming the National Show Jumping title, numerous International wins, and a place on the nations cup team at Arezzo, Italy last month to name a few highlights. Now, fresh from a Cavan victory in the five year old Cavan Classic on another promising young horse, he is preparing to make a trip north to the popular County Down venue Gransha Equestrian Centre, where he will entertain the crowds in a masterclass evening on Friday 10th October. The evening will consist of a number of his own horses used in demonstrations, while a few familiar faces local to the venue, Suzanne Posnett and Emma Jackson have also kindly agreed to be guinea pigs for the evening.

Tickets were priced at £10 and £20, allowing spectators the option to bring their own seats, or avail of a tiered seating grandstand, however when the £10 tickets quickly sold out, alternative plans were made to increase this area to create more space and therefore put the £10 ticket option back onto their website to satisfy demand.

Gransha haven’t left a stone unturned in their preparations as the centre also boasts a new car park surface in ahead of the evening, which will take place in the new Antwerp arena. So if you haven’t yet had a chance to see this new competition area, now is a great opportunity to catch up with friends and get some expert advice from a show jumper who clearly knows what he is talking about.

“I am absolutely delighted to be named Irish National Champion and I have to pay tribute to the incredible owners of these wonderful horses that I am lucky enough to ride and also to all the team at Ballypatrick Stables who work so hard behind the scenes to make this possible”.
