We are deeply disappointed to announce that we will not be running the Rockingham International Horse Trials in 2024.

We are extremely proud to have hosted some incredible sport in the Great Park over the last 10 years but sadly it is no longer viable to run the event at this time.

We would like to thank all the wonderful volunteers, visitors, competitors, owners, exhibitors and sponsors who have supported us over the years, especially our title sponsor Fairfax & Favor and previous title sponsor King West.

We are delighted to confirm that we will be able to provide a 100 percent refund for all British Eventing Official entries and stabling requests made to this year’s FAIRFAX & FAVOR Rockingham International Horse Trials.

Refunds will be made through British Eventing (or from us directly for some stabling) and will be completed as soon as possible, once the funds have arrived from the insurance company. We have been advised that this will take up to 10 business days.

Full refunds will be issued for all competitions scheduled to take place at the event. Competitors with entries for non-eventing classes will be be contacted directly.

We would like to thank everyone who has waited so patiently for this outcome. Throughout the process we have been in the hands of the insurers, who have been facing additional pressure due to the high number of spring cancellations. From our side, we have done everything we can to provide the refunds as quickly as possible and we are pleased to finally be able to deliver this news.

It is with great regret that due to the prolonged adverse weather, all competition scheduled to take place at the Fairfax & Favor Rockingham International Horse Trials 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 decision has been made to abandon the event by the BE & FEI officials.

“We are absolutely devasted that this call had to be made,” said Horse Trials organiser, Lizzie Saunders Watson. “But the safety of horses and riders is paramount. We were conscious that the weather was against us and had been taking every precaution we could to enable the event to run.

“Tracking has been installed for vehicle access and our stabling and marquee suppliers have gone above and beyond to get the infrastructure set up on extremely challenging ground.

“Despite these best efforts, the biggest test was always going to be whether the ground was going to be safe for our competitors. A full ground inspection took place this morning with FEI and British Eventing officials. This included test runs with a horse and rider in all warmup areas, all arenas and the cross county course. Following this, we were told that it would not be safe to run.

“We are working with our insurers to establish next steps in terms of refunds and will be in touch with everyone as soon as we know more. As you can imagine, this is a huge task to undertake so please bear with us.”

Everyone who competes with us is each on their own journey - for some, competing at the FAIRFAX & FAVOR Rockingham International Horse Trials will be the culmination of a goal they have been working towards for many years, whereas for others it will be a valuable steppingstone towards other goals later in the year.

There were definitely great things to come for our 2022 OIu21 winners, Jaymee Savill and Grange Ash Sparrow. They went on to be selected to represent Great Britain at the Junior European Championships, finishing seventh individually in front of a home crowd at Hartpury.
