As the second leg of the Northumberland Challenge gets underway at Alnwick Ford International Horse Trials, entries have opened for the final leg at Burgham International Horse Trials (29th July – 2nd August 2026)
Burgham, which celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2026, always attracts a huge and highly competitive entry list and this year will have a new course designer on board, with Dutch Olympian Andrew Heffernan appointed as cross-country course-designer of the feature CCI4*-S class.
Burgham will also host the final leg of the big-money Northumberland Challenge, which unites the three Northumbrian international events of Belsay, Alnwick Ford and Burgham and is sponsored by Matfen Hall, An Eventful Life and NIS Group Ltd. Any rider who can win the CCI4*-S, CCI3*-S or CCI2*-S classes at all three horse trials will leave Burgham with a bonus of £5,000 (CCI4*-S and CCI3*-S) or £4,000 (CCI2*-S).
Alongside the international classes there are national competitions taking place at BE90, BE100, Novice and Intermediate levels plus Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse qualifiers for four- and five-year-old horses, a Thoroughbred and Ex-Racehorse show and unaffiliated showjumping.
Get your entries in and we’ll see you there!
