The £15,000 unaffiliated series

“We wanted to offer a high profile series, with serious prize money, for grass roots riders. We wanted to encourage more riders at the lower levels to take up the reins and come eventing, whilst also creating a pathway for riders moving up the British Eventing levels” – Rachael Faulkner, Tweseldown owner and organiser.

The A.T. Classics will be run on an accumulator basis, giving all competitors a chance at winning the prize money and generous prizes on offer. 1st place will attract 12 points, with 10th place attracting 3 points.  A bonus point will also be available to those unplaced double clears.

Because every eventing enthusiast loves to party the series prizes will be presented at an End of Season Ball, held at Tweseldown on the 11th November, with tickets also being made available to the general public.

Local rider Stephanie Dean commented:

“The A.T. Classics really appeals, as both Tweseldown and Aston-Le-Walls and really good venues. So it is the combination of well-run events with good facilities and a generous prize pot that appeals”.

Sentiments were also echoed by Natalie Light:

“I’m planning on competing 3 horses across two levels.  I like both venues as they offer good courses and there is better prize money on offer than at British Eventing affiliated events, and it is always good to support those venues offering good prize money.”
