Last April we were lucky enough to attend The International, a new show jumping tournament in Omaha, Nebraska. This world class event was focused strictly on jumpers and the competition was intense. Neil Badcock and Campino competed in the Grand Prix and placed 5th. Lanie Thomas and Albion were 3rd in the 1.40m High Junior/Amateur Speed Derby and 4th in the 1.50m Open Jumper Speed Derby.
The show organizers did, quite simply, a fantastic job. The attention to detail was at a level rarely seen these days. They went out of their way to ensure all riders and their horses were taken care of and ran a number of social events throughout the tournament. We look forward to coming back in 2013 as this will definitely be a highlight of our season!
RFDTV produced a documentary on The International. Keep your eyes peeled during the first few minutes of the video and count how many times you spot Neil and Campino!
