Was there ever a regular show jumping programme on tv? Around the time of Harvey Smith and David Broome.

I think they used to show the Horse of the Year show, but had to cancel after Princess Anne won it every year...

Horse Of The Year Show was a regular feature on BBC1 just before Christmas. They also had blanket coverage (horse blanket coverage, if you will) of the Badminton 3 day eventing thing. As well as regular coverage of various World and European Championships.

The Horse of the Year show ruined the Wembley pitch for our League Cup Final game v Man City in 1970

Show Jumping use to be on tv all the time in the 70s.
As mentioned above David Broome and Harvey Smith were big stars.
