The British Eventing (BE) season will not begin before 26 March, it has been confirmed – and two British Riding Club (BRC) championships have been cancelled.
The BE season had been due to start at the beginning of March with three fixtures; Epworth, South Yorkshire, Poplar Park, Suffolk, and Aston-le-Walls, Northants, scheduled to run on 6-7 March. Following the announcement of the latest lockdown BE had hoped for the season to begin in mid-March.
In a statement today (14 January) BE said it continued to work closely with event organisers to ensure BE is ready to start sport as soon as restrictions allow.
