The South of England International CCI*** & CCI**, Including Junior Championship is held in the Autumn and is affiliated to both the FEI and British Eventing. It is now in its 16 year attracting the top event riders and its prestige continues to grow with over ten countries usually being represented. We also run National Classes from BE 100 through to Open Intermediate sections over the weekend.
These events utilise 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.
