Alongside the International level eventing classes at the 2026 Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials, the evoke™ Eventer Challenge was also taking place on Thursday and Friday.
The Bladon and Hensington arenas hosted the Riding Club 100cm and 90cm competitions on Thursday and, at the end of day one, it was North Somerset’s Equestrian Training South West (ETSW) team who were honoured with the first team place in the RC100cm and High Wycombe secured the RC90cm first place honours.
Rebecca Wilman and her horse Soviet Suspect secured the individual RC90cm gold, and Harriet Couplan with her horse Cillbhrid Mermaid took home the RC100cm gold.
Catherine Burgress from ETSW said of the team’s RC100cm win, “Three of the team members were winners in the Riding Club National Horse Trials Championships this year, so this is a double whammy for them. They are a very experienced 90cm team, and having started at 10am today, it has been a long wait to see if they were victorious. And what a way to end the day! They have had a wonderful experience and love coming to Blenheim.”
Rebecca Wilman, the individual winner of RC90cm said of her result, “We had a lovely round. Soviet Suspect is an ex-racehorse, so he’s quite small, and this is the best we’ve ever done. Can’t get better than first. I’m chuffed!”
The evoke™ Eventer Challenge continued on Friday with the 100cm and 90cm Pony Club competition. Almost 150 team members and their horses took part with the winning team for the 90cm competition, North Cotswold Primrose, finishing faultless on counting scores.
Rose Wakeley on Glasshouse Man from the Cotswold Hunt took Individual first place with zero penalties in a time of 119.38 seconds.
