THE NEW WORLD
OF SHOWJUMPING.
Showjumping is becoming more international, more ambitious and more closely connected to global investment. For the families in it, every opportunity comes with a very real commitment.
Price of the Jump is an original Noelle Productions series in development and being prepared for commissioning. The title and format are working ideas.
Across showgrounds, stables and family life, the series follows parents and young riders chasing big goals in a sport that can take them around the world. We see the preparation, the nerves, the setbacks and the joy of being part of a team.
Through families with different backgrounds and routes into the sport, Price of the Jump explores how new investment and a fast-growing international circuit are changing showjumping—and what those changes mean for opportunity, ambition and belonging.
Warm, honest and curious, it lets the people closest to the sport tell the story of what it is becoming.
For showjumping families
LET THEM
BE SEEN.
We are especially interested in families whose children compete internationally or are working towards that level, and whose lives are shaped by the horses, coaching, travel and significant investment the sport can demand. We hope to hear from families in the UK, Europe and the Gulf.
Taking part could give a young rider the chance to share their journey with a wider audience. We want to show the people, ambition and family commitment behind the results, and how opportunity is changing as the sport becomes more global.
