LAUDED as one KZN’s most popular show jumping events, the Nissan Winter Classic will again grace the Durban Shongweni Club showgrounds from 14 to 18 June.
A mainstay of the local equestrian calendar, the event offers a prize purse of R480 000 and features a full quota of 300 local and international riders and horses and is the second of five elite events that comprise the South African leg of the FEI World Cup Jumping qualifiers.
While the show-jumping, competition and top-class equestrian facilities will be the main attraction at the upcoming Nissan Winter Classic, the family-oriented Durban Shongweni Club will be offering a host of additional activities during the event.
Nissan, the headline sponsor, will be back with their perennial crowd favourite vehicle display and test drive section. Children will also be spoilt for choice having access to a dedicated kids zone play area, as well as gymnastic and trapeze displays.
One of South Africa’s most experienced and decorated show jumpers, Barry Taylor, looks to claim top honours in the premier categories at this year’s event.
Barry said, “The Nissan Winter Classic competition and show standards are equal to anywhere in the world.”
