With a completely new course, creatively designed and laid out by Tina Ure and built by David Carpenter, both of the long running Little Downham Horse Trials, will fit within the racecourse on a brand new track and utilizing virgin ground, unused by any previous events.  The new BE80(T), BE90 and BE100 courses will feature a brand new kidney shaped water complex as a focal point and runs in a figure of eight, giving spectators a perfect vantage point which is also close to the secretary’s and the tradestands.

Tina Ure commented:

“This is a lovely opportunity for British Eventing competitors to ride at this great new venue near to Cambridge.  The site offers excellent views across the whole cross country course and riders will be able to test their skills across the varied terrain”.

 

Hosted by the Vestey family and lead by Tim Barling as event organiser, Horseheath has attracted a wealth of commercial support from sponsors and an army of volunteers all eager to see this new venue make a success of their first event. 

Mark McGoven,  from sponsors PwC, who leads My Financepartner in the UK, said: 

“The My Financepartner team at PwC is proud to be the official sponsor of the inaugural Horseheath Horse Trials. As a relatively new business providing outsourced accounting services to SME businesses, we know first-hand how challenging it is to set up a new venture, which is why we are committed to helping the Horseheath Horse Trials team establish itself as a key fixture on the eventing calendar.”
