The Bates Saddles British Eventing Arena Eventing Championships took place on Saturday at Aston le Walls Eventing Centre in Northamptonshire, and it proved to be a fantastic event despite all the challenges the weather threw at us.
Four Championships were contested throughout the day. Competitors first completed a round of show jumps immediately followed by a cross country course, with a challenging finish over a show jump ‘joker fence’ set at 10cm higher than the rest of the course.
