Badminton Horse Trials

Badminton Horse Trials is one of the toughest and most exciting equestrian events - the pinnacle of the world’s 4-Day-Event calendar. As the name suggests horses and riders complete the competition over 4 days, each day consisting of a different discipline or phase. Horses and riders must complete a dressage test demonstrating Obedience, Discipline, Accuracy and Elegance. They need to be fit and athletic to complete a 4 mile cross country ride jumping several solid man-made and natural obstacles within a set time. Finally they must complete a course of show-jumps designed to test their agility and accuracy at speed.

The Box Office is now open for piority bookings and will be open for public bookings on 12th January.
