More than 700 grassroots riders are flocking to Blenheim Place this week for the Riding Club and Pony Club Team Eventer Challenges, sponsored by Dodson & Horrell
This year both the 90cm and 100cm arenas are located together, creating a hub where the competitors, that have travelled far and wide to be here, are competing and socialising. The Bladon arena is hosting the 100cm whilst the new Hensington arena features the 90cm class
Co-course designers Di Boddy (show jumping) and David Evans (cross country, also designer of the CIC3* courses here this year) put their heads together to create the two grass arena-based courses that will challenge the riders
“The time is tight, which is what we want” says Paul Hayhurst, Manager of the Hensington Arena “And the fences are causing a bit of trouble. We don’t want too many clears - just enough!”
Paul told us a little more about how this competition comes together at Blenheim
