Hickstead is synonomous with showjumping. As host to the British Grand
Prix and the only Samsung Super League with FEI Competition in the British
Isles, it is the home of British showjumping. Founded in 1961 by Douglas
Bunn, Hickstead has come to represent more than just showjumping however,
and as it approaches its 50th birthday is equally as renowned for polo,
showing, dressage, driving and even eventing! In recent years, we have also
added weddings, conferences, parties and events to our repertoire, offering
an idyllic, incredibly unique setting for any function. Please explore our
website to reveal all the Hickstead experiences we have to offer, or call

LATEST NEWS FROM THE DFS DERBY
The William Funnell and Cortaflex Mondriaan partnership blossomed yet again at Hickstead today when they took their second DFS Derby win. At one point the competition looked as if it would climax with a six-rider jump off at eight faults. Then first Funnell and then last year’s winner, Geoff Billington and Cassabachus, came home with four faults to force just a two-rider jump-off. Funnell went steadily around to come home clear, but Billington was forced into an error at the palisade rails following the water jump to record his second four.
Earlier in the day Ceci Mourkogiannis could not stop smiling after she and William 196 came home winners of the first Hickstead Young Rider Masters. Mourkogiannis said after that it was the horse’s first win after an 18-month lay-off for an injury.
