Following the cancellation of the Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe, and a tender process, the Northumberland venue will run the British Open, the intermediate, novice and novice restricted championships, alongside the established CCI4 -S, CCI3 -S and CCI2 -S international classes, and national classes. Burgham event director Martyn Johnson said: “It’s very exciting for the north, which sometimes misses out on big sporting events, that the British Eventing [BE] fixtures panel has trusted us with running these historic and important championships. ....

During the past year, enterprising companies started selling reusable numbers that fit inside competitor number bibs, in reaction to BE’s Covid regulations. Before the pandemic hit, competitors would collect the two sheets of A4 paper with their number printed on them from the secretary when they arrived at an event.

British Eventing (BE) is considering “all possibilities” to fill holes left in the international fixtures calendar following the cancellation of four internationals in two weeks.

British Eventing has revealed how its recently announced Area Festivals format will give grassroots riders competing from BE80(T) to BE100 level an “inspiring goal” designed to “showcase talent”. The Science Supplements Area Festivals will include “new look” BE80(T), BE90 and BE100 area qualifiers – replacing existing regional finals – and new area championships classes for BE80(T), BE80(T) open, BE90, BE90 open, BE100 and BE100 open. The Area Festivals will run as standalone events, with courses of “championship technicality” and international-size dressage arenas. “Following member feedback, collaborating with the rider working group 80-105 and in conjunction with the Event Riders Association, the Area Festivals will provide additional championship opportunities, plus the chance to compete at prestigious venues with an exciting competition atmosphere,” said a BE spokesman. ....
