Event Update – Rockingham International Horse Trials

It is with great regret that due to the prolonged adverse weather all competition at the Fairfax & Favor Rockingham International Horse Trial, scheduled to run from 18-21 May, has been abandoned.

Despite a positive drying forecast the site, including the ground for all three phases, has not dried sufficiently to allow the event to proceed in a safe manner and the devastating decision has been made to abandon the event.

Information on entries and ticket refunds will follow shortly.

BE Statement
We understand that the abandonment of the FEI classes at Chatsworth International and Rockingham International is both disappointing and frustrating as it means yet another event has become a victim of the prolonged adverse weather conditions.

We also appreciate, that for many of you, these will have been key opportunities to gain MERs or educational runs for your horses and therefore British Eventing is currently looking at alternative opportunities to add International classes into the calendar. Any additions would be subject to FEI approval.

We will of course keep you updated as and when any plans have been confirmed however, in the meantime, we want to reassure you that we are doing our best to work with Organisers in replacing these valuable lost MER opportunities where possible.
