Four equestrian acts have made it through to the H Factor Final which will take place throughout the week at the British Open 2010 (Wednesday 7th – Saturday 10th April at Birmingham’s NEC). The final judging will take place during Saturday’s performance when the winner will be announced. The winning act will then have the unique privilege to follow in the footsteps of the Household Calvary, Jean François Pignon and the Metropolitan Police, to name a few, by showcasing their talent at Horse of the Year Show 2010 in front of over 60,000 visitors.
The acts through to the Final are:
Saffron Walden Quadrille
The Knights of Middle England
Equestrienne Stunt Show
Rockin’ Horse Stunt Show
In a bid to find the next big thing in equestrian entertainment, Grandstand Group, the company behind Horse of the Year Show and the British Open Show Jumping Championships, hosted the H Factor qualifier at Addington Equestrian Centre last weekend (8th August). The four successful acts all wowed the judging panel who were extremely impressed with the calibre of all the displays that were selected to perform at the H Factor qualifier.
The four qualified acts will perform each day at the British Open, with the aim to impress the audience who will be able to vote for their favourite act by text. Saturday’s Final will feature all of the acts consecutively before live feedback and a verdict is given by Grandstand’s judging panel. New band, Dakota, will provide live music alongside the H Factor Final and the British Open Show Jumping Championship Final during Saturday’s jam packed performance.
The British Open Show Jumping Championships takes place at the NEC, Birmingham from Wednesday 7th – Saturday 10th April 2010. Tickets will go on sale in October 2009.
