• Not just for Princes!

  You may not own a horse like Granntevka Prince, last year’s winner of Blenheim International Horse Trials under British superstar rider Lucy Wiegersma, but you too could compete at the Palace during the international event.

  If you are a regular of the BE100 circuit then, yes, you could compete at Blenheim Palace in an exciting competition being launched this year.Imagine, riding in front of an enthusiastic Sunday crowd of the September three-day-event bidding to be crowned inaugural winner of the Tri-Zone BE 100 Eventers’ Challenge.

  Up to 120 competitors can be accommodated to compete over a mixed course of 1m-1.05m show jumping and cross-country fences in the Bladon Arena with the winner being the round with the fewest jumping penalties closest to the optimum time.

  And to enter, all you need is three ‘qualifying results’ of double clears at BE100 venues within 65 miles of Blenheim Palace between July 31st 2009 and August 1st 2010.

  Leading manufacturer of horse products, Buckinghamshire’s Equilibrium Products jumped at the chance to sponsor of the Eventers’ Challenge and the prizes awarded will no doubt include their acclaimed products while all qualifiers receive a discount voucher on products and all competitors will receive a rosette and coveted commemorative plaque.

  Felicity Norrie, Marketing Manager of Equilibrium Products says, “As a company we are always looking to offer grass roots to elite riders access to the best products, the best training and the best competition and, in supporting the Tri-Zone BE 100 Eventers’ Challenge we hope to further such ambitions and offer these competitors an unforgettable experience.”
