Exciting Times at Osberton International

With so much going on over the 4 days (29th September – 2nd October), Osberton International Horse Trials 2016 is shaping up to be unmissable. Being the 4th largest three day event in the WORLD Osberton attracts more top class riders and their young horses than any other UK event. With a jam-packed arena timetable full of both equestrian and non-equestrian entertainments there will be something to keep the whole family happy this year.

Witness the Unveiling of Tomorrow’s Champions…

The 2016 Olympic Games in Rio were remarkable across the board and the Eventing competition was no different. Did you know that 4 of the 5 Olympic Team Horses had competed at Osberton International Horse Trials in the last few years and none more successfully than Kitty King’s ride the 9 year old gelding Ceylor LAN who consecutively won the 5, 6 and 7 yr old Young Horse Championships. You truly can witness the beginning of the eventing careers of the most successful horses (and riders) in the world.
It is always exciting to see the Osberton entries pour in in an Olympic year and this one is no exception. 

With an extraordinarily high calibre of riders bringing their young horses to the KBIS British Eventing Championships you can look forward to witnessing Rio 2016 Olympic riders such Sam Griffiths (AUS), Alex Hua Tian (CHN), Rebecca Howard (CAN), Mark Kyle (IRL), Carlos Parro (BRA) and Ludwig Svennerstal (SWE) as well as the WHOLE of TEAM GBR, William Fox-Pitt, Pippa Funnell, Kitty King and Gemma Tattersall.

If you would like nothing more than to witness first-hand future Olympic and Championship Eventing horses strut their stuff, look no further than Osberton!
