Mojo Barriers One Jump Ahead at Horse of the Year Show
Mojo Barriers UK supplied 209m of Mojo Steel Barriers to keep horse and crowd separate by surrounding the main show ring at the 2005 Horse of the Year Show this October.
Grandstand Media Ltd have produced the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) since it moved to the NEC and it has remained a firm favourite with competitors and show jump fans from all over the UK.
Mojo Barriers UK manager Kevin Thorborn oversaw the project, highlighting the co-operation between the international offices of Mojo Barriers underpins the success of the show. The Mojo Steel Barriers are painted and prepared in the De Meern (Netherlands) office so that they match the high quality of presentation demanded by the HOYS organisers.
Thorborn commented: “In our first year (2002) we spent a lot of time working with the organisers measuring and planning the configuration of the barriers for the main ring. They had to accommodate advertising hoardings and various idiosyncrasies such as the 15cm of temporary surface making up the floor of the main ring necessitating special gates being manufactured, so they are configured the opposite way round to normal – with the front of the barriers facing inwards.”
Following the success of the main ring in its first year, Mojo Barriers have repeated the formula, incorporating a number of special sections that are used only for this event. Mark Wein, director, Grandstand Media Ltd commented: “Mojo barriers provide an ideal solution to our unique requirements in creating a temporary equestrian arena since Horse of the Year Show’s relocation to Birmingham’s NEC Arena in 2002. To date they have provided a faultless service and delivered strong and adaptable barriers in a range of sizes offering maximum flexibility. Using only high quality products, Mojo barriers help to create a dynamic and professional environment in which to show case one of the most spectacular equestrian events in the world.”
