The 2026 show season is officially over for us at CEC, as we look positively to the winter months ahead, with plenty of exciting events and clinics planned.
Our End of Season Show plus Unaffiliated Show Jumping on Sunday was the perfect way to bring our season to a close - after a challenging summer for everyone (hot, and very dry ground conditions) it was great to see everyone showing off their horses paces, and also taking part in our Unaffiliated Show Jumping.
A huge thank you to our incredible judges, Natalie Hudson (Ridden) and Natalie Watling (In Hand) who had a tough job on their hands, in some large classes, but continuously gave our competitors endless encouragement and feedback. Thank you also to our ring stewards, Olivia and Grace, who kept the rings moving and the competitors in check!
Thank you also to our Show Jumping sponsor, Bell4Business Limited who continued to support us after we sadly had to withdraw the ring from the summer show, and never faltered in their intention to support our show. It was great to hear the noise and the cheers from the show jumping ring, with some fabulous jump offs being ridden. Thank you to Isla and Niamh in for being fabulous pole pickers, and jump off timers, to support the running of the ring.
We were very fortunate and reassured to have professional first aid cover from start to finish, ensuring our competitors could enjoy the day without compromise to their safety. A weight off the shoulders of the CEC staff, on a busy day. Our first aid cover was brought to us by the incredibly friendly and professional, CQC registered, HFR Solutions CIC who offer event first aid cover for a variety of events in the area.
Craig Ellis Photography once again captured all the moments from the day, and had them uploaded in record time, for everyone to purchase and enjoy. We may be biased, but Craig and his team really do get THE best shots, and we look forward to working with him again next season.
Our caterers for the day were Flipping Great Dutch Pancakes, Toast and Chilli (toasties, drinks and ice cream) and Balloons and Blooms, who not only provided our stunning judges flowers, but also those important post show proseccos! Thank you Helen, Caroline and Mandy for attending - we loved having you join us.
And finally, it goes without saying, thank you hugely to all the competitions, spectators, volunteers and supporters who not only joined us for this event, but all our events throughout the year. Walking up and down the show ground, it's brilliant to hear the support and buzz that you all create, and this excitement carries on after the day, when we see all your lovely tags and photos on the social media pages.
Thank you for an amazing 2026 season, we have exciting plans for 2027, which will no doubt come around before we know it 🥂
