British Eventing is pleased to announce the launch of the 2021 Fixtures Calendar with several new competition opportunities for the 2021 eventing season including the Team Challenge, Novice Masters Series, Area Festivals, the introduction of a BE90 Three Day Event and the pilot of CCI1*-Intro classes.

Following agreement at the Risk Management and Sport Committee and in consultation with the British Eventing Organisers Association, British Eventing entry fees and start fees will increase by the rate of CPI in July of 0.65% in 2021. Prize money will also increase by 0.65%.

An impressive points total sees a convincing win for the 2020 Champions of both the Grassroots Foundation Points League for Horses and Riders.  

Despite missing several weeks of competition, the Foundation Points League produced some impressive point totals and standout performances in 2020.

There will be a very special feel for the Badminton Horse Trials 2021 event, which will be running “Behind Closed Doors”.

British Eventing in partnership with Science Supplements® is delighted to announce the introduction of Area Festivals to the BE calendar. Running at BE80(T), BE90 and BE100 level, Area Festivals will provide grassroots riders with an exciting new competition opportunity and goal. 

With just three UK events hosting 4* events this year, competition was fierce in the Britannia 4* League.

On a total of 46 BE points, Piggy March and the March Stud’s Sportsfield Top Notch take the 2020 title in the British Eventing 3* League. 

It was a win for Charlotte Andrews and Tim and Carol Andrews’ Millhollow Classic in the 2020 Gatehouse 2* League.

British Eventing was very sad to learn of the passing of Lady Vestey, a long-time British Eventing member, Horse Trials Support Group member and event horse owner.
