Top showjumpers compete in 2013 Galencia Property South African Derby
The Galencia Property South African Derby 2013 is taking place from 2 to 6 October, 2013, at the Kyalami Equestrian Park, Joburg. The country's top showjumpers will compete over a treacherous course, testing both rider and horse in an attempt to make it through to the final on the Sunday, witnessed by an expected 5000 to 6000 spectators.
Cheng Cheng, CEO of Galencia Property Developments, said: "Equestrian sport has evolved to be more than just a noble event, but rather a symbol of aristocratic demeanour that is represented by ideals of fair competition. It has become the epitome of fashionable sport and an emblem of a high-end brand logo. Attributable to our efforts and experiences, Galencia Property always strives to globally develop the best value property with the team spirit of optimism, diligence and professionalism to deliver an elegant and dependable product. We, as the official sponsor of the Galencia Property South African Derby, share the same values that are symbolised by this gallant sport and hope to encourage a wider range of people to embrace it and subsequently uphold the noble sportsmanship."
