SJAI raise the bar with new Premier League

THE Show Jumping Association of Ireland (SJAI) has set the bar high with its new Premier Grand Prix League, but it is confident the strict criteria it has laid down for it “can only ensure excellence”.

Launched this week, the SJAI has promised €135,000 for the nine-leg series, enough to attract more than a modicum of interest from riders.

For the past few years, the Boswell League has set the standard on the national circuit and the Premier League is set to increase the sport’s profile.
