British Eventing Horse Trials are coming soon - Sunday 29th and Monday 30th May

Two days of affiliated Horse Trials run in conjunction with British Eventing. The three phases: Dressage; Show Jumping and Cross-Country will take place in the Park with top international riders expected to compete. 

The competition starts with BE90 Level on Sunday. BE100 runs on both days, culminating in the Novice BE Level, with jumps at 1.10 metre, on Bank Holiday Monday. We think it will be a great day’s entertainment. Come and enjoy it.
