UK Rabbit Hopping?

[jcl_24]

As noted, this post was inspired by Emily of Blue Sky Acres Rabbitry.
I noticed many USA resplies and wondered is there much of this rabbit sport going on in the UK?

Ebony could be good at it because she is naturally athletic and likes to leap up onto objects. I wouldn't know where to start with training her though-would be good to have a club to go to or like-minded friends to meet up with

I did some googling

And about the same two people.

That one says

'Sadly, it seems unlikely that any of our bunnies will be mounting the winner's rostrum (or anything else) in Denmark. As yet, there seem to be no showjumping rabbits in the country. Still, it's early days. The sport has only recently received its first write-up here, in a book called The Pet Owner's Guide to Rabbits'

So it seems like it is very minimally done over here and not as a sport.

CJ does a bit of agility every now and again but not as a sport!!
Unfortunately, it isn't a 'known' thing here. Though I have been looking at starting a club.

Thank you for that research Tracey.

A club in the UK would be fab

Until then I'll have to get reading....
