The International will return in 2025!
Our events utilize some of the best facilities for any horse trials within the United Kingdom with the permanent pavilion overlooking the main ring.
The cross country courses extend outside the showground and into neighbouring farmland. The courses are designed by Scott Brickle and his team who were the official course builders for the London Olympics in 2012.
