Nunney Horse Trials.

Official Statement


Nunney International Horse Trials – Final Announcement


Following our announcement in June regarding the cancellation of the 2025 Nunney International Horse Trials, it is with further regret and sadness that we have had to make the tough decision to remove Nunney International Horse Trials from the Eventing calendar permanently.


The fixture date is too crowded and our national and international entries were way below expectations this year.


Nunney has meant so much and will be greatly missed by not only Competitors of all levels, but also to our wonderful local community who supported us year after year.


We are immensely grateful to our loyal team of volunteers, many of whom have been with us since the very beginning. Their dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm have made the event such fun.


Our grateful thanks to all our sponsors, our Main sponsors, fence sponsors and all who have generously supported us, without whom we would never get off the ground.


And finally, our deepest thanks go to our exceptional host, Mrs Angela Yeoman and her team. Her generosity over the years has been extraordinary — not just to Nunney International, but to many other equestrian events. While the International Horse Trials may be drawing to
a close, Southfield House remains a vibrant venue, with Pony Club camps and other events continuing the legacy.


Thank you All.
Teresa Dufosee + Bridget Parker and the Committee

BE FIXTURES WEBINARS

Dear Members,

It has come to my attention that British Eventing will be running four regional webinars on Thursday 14th August to ask for your feedback where you can voice your thoughts on the fixtures list and how we can improve it. 

This is crucial that this is well attended as this topic is hot and is always the first thing that is discussed when people talk about the future of our sport.

Please, if you want to voice your opinion on how we can improve the fixtures calendar then attend. I also beg that this is sent to your riders so they are also aware of this very important topic. 

You do not need to be a BE member to attend these seminars. 

Sign up here

https://www.britisheventing.com/form/member-feedback

The webinars are as follows

South West 12.00-1.00pm

Midlands & Wales 1.30-2.30pm

North & Scotland 5.30-6.30pm

East & South East 7.00-8.00pm

I hope you all try and attend if you want a say.

Many thanks.

Cornbury House Horse Trials

Dear Owners 

In just over six weeks’ time, eventing’s top names as well as some of the finest up-and-coming young horses and riders will compete in a five-day sporting spectacular here at Cornbury – Cornbury House Horse Trials (10-14 September).

Now in its sixth year, David Howden and his family have worked tirelessly to continue to evolve this unique event in the heart of the Cotswolds and this year’s event promises to be extra special. Alongside the top-class sport, there will be premium hospitality, the finest locally sourced food and drink farms PLUS loads of additional entertainment for the whole family. 

For owners interested in purchasing hospitality at the event and following the success of last year, The Endless Lunch by Mirabeau will return again on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September.Guests will enjoy an informal dining experience all day while watching the live action from the marquee which overlooks the main showjumping arena. Locally sourced and seasonal menus will be on offer throughout the afternoon, all accompanied by Mirabeau rosé, and we really hope that owners with competing horses will make a real day of it and book a spot with family and friends. For further details about what’s on offer, simply click here.

Special offer: For owners with competing horses, we are delighted to offer you a special price of £55 per person, but please note, spaces are selling extremely quickly so we would encourage you to book today, if you wish to secure your space, as it will sell out. Please use the following exclusive link and should you book for additional guests, you will need to add on General Admission tickets during the purchase process – Book Here 

We can’t wait to welcome you to Cornbury House Horse Trials this year. 

Best Wishes,
