Showjumping display returns to Southport Flower Show

Showjumping returned to Southport Flower Show after a long break since the days of Harvey Smith and his famous v sign.

Former British Olympian Geoff Billington did the display.

Geoff Billington has competed once in 1998 at the World Championships, achieving a team bronze medal, and also has a European championship team bronze medal from 1997, although he also competed there in 1999 and 2009.

He has represented Great Britain at the Olympics in both Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 and has competed in 46 Nations Cups since 1976, with a total of 9 wins.

Billington has also won the British Jumping Derby at Hickstead in 2007, on the grey horse Cassabachus
