from the Wembley Arena
The 1978 Horse of the Year Show featuring
The Butlin Championship
(Holders DAVID BROOME with Heat-wave and GEOFF GLAZZARD with Penwood Forge Mill)
The opening night of this famous show with displays of equestrianism ranging from the mighty Shires to the exuberant little Shetlands. The centrepiece, as ever, is world-class show jumping which last year produced a dead-heat in the first major competition of the week.
