Around 1000 horses will be at The Royal County of Berkshire Show at the weekend, for what is the last big outdoor show of the season.

They will be taking part in events from show jumping to driving and showing classes.

On Sunday, the show is to provide the climax for the new International Stairway show jumping series. The series was created by the British Show Jumping Association to identify and assess potential and existing British team competitors.

It will be one of the highlights of the main arena events.

Pat Parsons, Chairman of the Show’s Light Horse Committee, said: “It is a great honour to be hosting the final of the new International Stairway class here. Show jumping is a fantastic spectator sport as the packed arena seating at Newbury always proves.”
