The countdown is on for Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials (BPIHT), with the thrilling event kicking off next month (19-22 September).The anticipation is building, said Event Organiser, Katrina Midgley. We have an incredible event taking shape and our team is working tirelessly to ensure an unforgettable experience for all visitors. Blenheim Palace provides a breathtaking venue, and we cant wait to welcome everyone to what promises to be an extraordinary showcase of equestrian excellence.In addition to the top-tier and grassroots competitions, BPIHT will offer a variety of attractions and activities. Visitors can explore the shopping village, take a ride on the big wheel, enjoy food and drink, plus demonstrations and displays in the Blenheim and Churchill Arenas, from the Police, Mini Rovers, Falconry, Pugs and Drummers to the Shetland Pony Grand National, Amanda Sandows Spotted Liberty Ponies and Side-Saddle group A bit on the side.Social media stars Harlow White and Esme Higgs will be attending, while presenter Sara Cox will be interviewing riders at the end of the cross-country course on the Saturday.Watching eventing live is one of my favourite horsey things to do apart from riding my lovely Nellie, said Sara. Where else do you get the opportunity to see three equine sports in one event and be truly in awe of the amazing horses and riders who take on huge cross-country fences as well as dancing delicately in the dressage phase.Tickets are available here.
