Cornbury House Horse Trials 

Dear Member

In just over three weeks’ time, equestrian’s hottest names including our Team GB Gold Medallists, some of the finest upcoming young riders and some truly world class horses will compete in our five-day sporting spectacular here at Cornbury – Cornbury House Horse Trials (11-15 September).

As you know eventing is a real passion of mine and my family’s and this years’ event will be extra special. More than just a festival of sport, it will be a feast of the senses. There will be live music and woodland crafts set against the glorious backdrop of the ancient Wychwood Forest. There will be the finest locally sourced food and drink from our very own farm. And, once again, we’re teaming up with our friends and neighbours, Phil Winser and his amazing team at The Bull, Charlbury, who will be cooking up a storm.

There will once again be a dedicated Owners Marquee over the course of the event, open throughout the day which will show the live stream of the cross-country with light refreshments available.  

For those looking for something more substantial, this year we are introducing The Endless Lunch, available on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 September with Mirabeau providing the rose for the afternoon. We really hope that owners with competing horses will make a real day of it and book a space for the afternoon with family and friends.  

You can find all the details here – https://www.cornbury house horse trials.co.uk/hospitality/  AND I am delighted to offer EHOA members a special £15 discount on the full package by using the promotional code Endless24 at the checkout point on the booking system. 

We can’t wait to see you there.

With best wishes,


David Howden
