The Premier Jumping League (PJL) has launched with a $300 million prize pot and a strong emphasis on horse and rider welfare. The new series features 16 teams competing at 14 venues across Europe, the US and the Middle East, starting in March 2027. Backed by McCourt Global, it aims to professionalize showjumping for full-time athletes.
Eleven-year-old showjumper Anya Dewey Clarke claimed victory in the children on horses final at the British Showjumping Winter Championships held at Arena UK in Lincolnshire from 18-22 March. Riding the 12-year-old Dutch-bred gelding Jewelino, she edged out competitors in a close jump-off. The win follows her successful transition from dominating 128cm pony classes in 2025.
