Cholmondeley Castle Cancellation 2022🐴

After careful consideration and discussions with both British Eventing and Cholmondeley Estate with regards to membership levels, entry patterns and rising costs’, we have taken the sad decision to cancel both events due to be held at Cholmondeley Castle 30th – 31st of July and the Unaffiliated 6th – 7th August.

The weekend of the 30th/31st is a very busy weekend with a large number of events happening across the country. Considering this and the ongoing financial situation, we do not feel that the current entry levels will sustain that number of events and allow them all to run and be successful. We have tried to mitigate this clash of events by exploring different options, including looking at different dates and running in different formats. To date, none of which have been successful in their application, giving us very little option.

We are so grateful for your continued support, and we really are sorry that we have had to make this decision. We hope Cholmondeley Horse Trials will return to the calendar in 2023.

British Eventing have been notified of the cancellation of Cholmondeley Castle 30 - 31 July and have been requested to share the following message to our

What a week at Badminton International Horse Trials 2022! 🥳

It was brilliant to see Badminton return and what a style to do so. We saw the very best of the best eventing action on all four days of competition. A massive Well Done to Laura Collett and London 52 on their win. It must be an incredible feeling to raise the Badminton trophy 🏆

It was great to see so many of the combinations at Badminton after their warm - up rounds at Burnham Market, many of them placing in the top 20, including:

• Oliver Townend and Swallow Springs, Oliver retained his Burnham Market crown winning both sections of the CCI 4* - S
• Piggy March and Vanir Kamira placed 6th in the CCI 4* - S, then went on to make the top 5 at Badminton.
• The youngest competitor on the field at Badminton, Alice Casburn and Topspin, placed in the top 15 in the CCI4* - S
• Kitty King and Vendredi Biats flew around Burnham Market, then went on to place 7th at Badminton.

More Badminton combinations include:

• Oliver Townend and Ballaghmor Class
• Tim Price and Ringwood Sky Boy
• Felicity Collins and RSH Contend Or
• William Fox – Pitt with Oratorio II and Little Fire
• Tom Jackson and Capels Hollow Drift

And many more…

If you are feeling inspired our entries for the Unaffiliated ODE at Houghton Hall International are still open! Grab your chance to ride around an International venue in the 90cm or 100cm class! For more information please contact [email protected] 🐎

Well done once again to Laura Collet, London 52 and the whole team, a record Badminton and an achievement of a lifetime 🍾
