In our area most of the old local horse shows are gone. It's really sad for us as we used to support them all. I can think of 4 we have lost just in the last year 😢
It’s such a loss. For riders keen on showing it must be so hard, because there’s a lack of shows, especially when wanting to introduce young horses to the circuit.
Another really interesting vlog! Had no idea about all the shows, I'd heard of White City via reading a few autobiographies of showjumpers. Be lovely to get some of the park ones back!
Richmond Horse show wasn't in Richmond Park! It was in ''Old deer park'' which is just a much smaller field, some way away from Richmond Park. I learned to ride in Richmond Park, the riding there was superb.... Barely any horses there now, though. Great shame.
Oh thank you for this. Poor research on my behalf I knew it was in the ‘Old Deer Park’ but assumed that was in Richmond Park. That makes sense why they ran out of space.
@@historicalhorses9816 You weren't to have known...as a child it used to confuse me, too! There used to be grand old houses and Palaces in the area and this is undoubtedly where the name came from.
@@historicalhorses9816 Richmond Park used to allow Polo matches, but sadly have never seen a horse show there. Dad used to tell me about Richmond Horse Show, and said it was quite a large event.

Thank you, agree would be fab to get some of the park shows back.
@@historicalhorses9816 dressage in Hyde Park sounds rather swish!
I used to look at show schedules but never entered anything. This was so interesting.
Sorry you didn’t get to enter anything. I used to look at the agricultural/ county shows and wish I could go, love a big show atmosphere.
@@historicalhorses9816 At some point in the future, I hope to do working hunter classes. Mostly because it's on my bucket list.
