What is the Protocol Day at Sydney Eventing Classic?

The 2026 REC Equine Specialist Sydney Eventing Autumn Classic hosts not only eventing classes from EvA65 to CCN4* on 7th & 8th March but also a Dressage Protocol Day on Friday 6th to help less experienced horses or riders train in the competition environment.

We caught up with Georgie Lorson at the Sydney Eventing Spring Classic in September 2025 where she explained the Protocol Day concept and what it takes to put this event on - read our full article here

Cosby Green on MBF Party Time at Burgham International Horse Trials 2025

Cosby Green led the FEI World Under 25 Rankings at the end of a very good year in 2025.

Cosby had two horses in the top 10 of the CCI5* at Luhmuhlen in June, with Highly Suspicious taking fourth place and Jos Ufo de Quidam in eighth place. Highly Suspicious also finished just outside of the top 10 at Les Etoiles de Pau CCI5*, in 11^th place while Cosby’s rising star MBF Party Time took fifth place at Le Mondial du Lion 7-Year-Old World Young Horse Championship.

Cosby and her team of horses will be ones to watch in 2026!

William Fox-Pitt on Chilli Morning at Chatsworth International 2016

A decade on and we still love watching these legends of the sport. 

William Fox-Pitt had just returned to competition after a life threatening fall at Le Lion d’Angers in October 2015, finishing 11^th in the CCI3* (now 4*) at Chatsworth International. The pair went on to be part of the British team at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games a few months later, the famous 5* winning stallion’s last event before retiring to stud.
