How about a used DSLR kit....?

£350 well spent on a used dslr, Might be a better option than a compact or high end bridge, Baring in mind that show jumping will require a camera with little or no shutter lag, For starters.

Then theres the thorny issue of ISO and noise, Even something as old as a D70/D80 will match todays compact/bridge cameras, Or maybe a 20D or 30D.

If it was not for the action shooting specifically, Then sure you could get away with a bridge or decent compact, But the really good ones are in DSLR territory price wise....

The budgets a little tight but if she`s prepared to be a little flexible ?

I always recommend the twin lens kits from Olympus or Sony, pretty much un-beatable value for money and giving extra reach.

Just about the best buy out there going by WE is The E420 twin lens kit, followed by the Sony about £100 more but adds in body IS.

Here`s a few prices and links for idea`s.

Olympus E420 twin lens kit £373

Canon 1000D single lens kit £368

Nikon D3000 £399

Pentax K20D single lens Kit £599

Sony A230 twin lens Kit £479
