• Blenheim goes truely INTERNATIONAL

  Date 22/06/2009
  With the dramatic slide in the value of Sterling, there’s never been a better time to travel to Britain as the mecca of three day eventing and to take in one of the world’s premier international events - Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials.  To make things easier and to provide for the most enjoyable experience possible for overseas visitors, the Organisers of the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials have upgraded the Blenheim website and ticket box office with multi-lingual capability, with information about this leading three star event now also available in German, Italian, French and Spanish.

  “We were struck by how many foreign guests there were at Badminton for the first time that were taking advantage of a strong Euro, so we are trying to make finding out about Blenheim and booking tickets even easier for those who may wish to come from abroad. We have already had much interest from top riders both in the UK and overseas about the new CIC ***8/9 year old star spotter class as well as the CCI***"said Event Director Mandy Hervieu "We are expecting a strong overseas challenge. It would be great for those riders to be cheered on by some supporters from their own countries and as we are lucky enough to stage our horse trials in the grounds of a world heritage site and one of the best tourist attractions in Britain, visitors can combine their passion for horse trials with some superb sight seeing!”

  This year Blenheim has an extra CIC3* class for 8/9 year old equine stars of the future and will have lots more dogs in attendance as it has chosen Hearing Dogs for Deaf People as its nominated charity is discussing the possibility of hosting a ‘Scrufts’ qualifier for the kennel club and has James Wellbeloved once again sponsoring the dog crèche and canine water bowls.
