STARS - CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Show Teams and Rising Stars Champion of Champions is the brainchild of 35 year old Sarah Harrison. STARS established in 2018 is an inaugural competition that normally takes place over a weekend at the end of the season every year at Aintree Equestrian Centre, Liverpool. This new “end-of-season” Champion of Champions horse show event will give many young and aspiring equestrians something to aim for and to represent the Clubs which they ride for. What a true honour.A total of 60 Riding and Pony Clubs from cross the country have affiliated to STARS Champion of Champions for 2020 and it is anticipated that the event will grow in future years – maybe even holding regional events.Sarah believes this event will bring together  the best of the best who will go head-to-head to be crowned Champion; with a chance to win not only the joy of victory for individual riders, but also financial reward and prestige of being crowned the STARS Supreme Riding Club of the Year. This will be done in such a manner as to make it fair whether you represent a large or smaller club – the top ten results from each section will be used and totalled to bring you your eventual Champion,
