Pamela Carruthers: Show jumping course designer
Friday, 20 November 2009
Pamela Carruthers had a profound influence on show jumping courses in many parts of the world. Having started through the usual route of designing for novice horses, she had caught the attention of the late Douglas Bunn when he was preparing to open the All England Show Jumping Course at Hickstead in West Sussex and she readily accepted his invitation to help design the fences for this bold concept. Together they designed the fences (both permanent and moveable) as well as the course for the inaugural British Jumping Derby in 1961. Carruthers was there when Hickstead opened in 1960 and she remained as senior course designer for almost 30 years.
