2024 Abandonment
There is no denying that it has been incredibly tough, but we are focussing on the positives.
Sadly, we are not going to be able to create a replacement event this year. Belsay Horse Trials has so many ‘moving parts’ with so many officials, judges, contractors, volunteers etc, that it’s almost impossible to rebook everyone, let alone get all our competitors, trade stands and sponsors back on a date that works for all.
Refunds and Insurance: We have already refunded all of our competitors 100% of their entry fee. We are in also offering refunds to our trade stands and sponsors but many of them have been incredibly generous and are ‘rolling over’ to next year.
Thank you all for your support and understanding – we have received so many lovely messages– it really is heart-warming. Please, rest assured we will be back, bigger and better for 2025!
2025 Competition
We will be doing everything we can to give our competitors, sponsors, volunteers and visitors the most fabulous experience, generous prize money and some great entertainment.
The organisers will make the going their top priority and it is likely to be perfect. There are two water complexes and a mix of natural permanent obstacles and portables. This is an ideal viewing course for owners, trainers and family.
Our showjumping arena has state of the art sports drainage and our dressage arenas are sited away from the Main Arena and Cross Country course in a quiet area of the park. Our event is supported by live scoring.
Charity course walks and competitor welcome parties
Belsay has run a long format Junior 2* competition at for the last three years to help u18s qualify for the Europeans. The CCI2*-LJ is key trial for those wishing to be considered for selection to the British Junior Squad competing at the European Championships.
