Talented rider Danielle Sparrow from Chichester and her pony

Juke Nokeham have qualified for the championships this year at heights of 2ft 6ins and 2ft 9inches.

The duo hope a local business will come forward to sponsor them for the event that takes at Crickland, near Newport, Wales, at the home of ex showjumper David Broome.

To qualify riders have to attend a hosting venue ( Royal Leisure Centre, Henfield or Coolham, West Sussex) and jump two clear rounds at 2ft 3ins, 2ft 6ins, 2ft 9 inches and 3ft.

They are able to enter preferred heights and if successful, then register with Cricklands.

Danielle first qualified and competed in August 2005, jumping at heights of 2ft 3 ins and 2ft 6ins, a remarkable achievement because she had owned Juke Nokeham for less than a year.
