We caught up with Emma Carmichael ahead of her trip to Bramham with Faerlie Flighty for the CCI4*L.

Emma tells us about her journey from first finding Faerlie Flighty ‘Rubble’ as a four year old through to producing him to four-star level, her early Bramham experiences, the ups and down of a life with horses - selling top horses to keep the eventing dream alive, injuries and setbacks, as well as the importance of surrounding yourself with a good team.

We are looking forward to welcoming Emma, Faerlie Flighty and all their team to Bramham in a few weeks’ time and wish them the best of luck.

A gentle reminder of the delicious menu awaiting our Champagne Pol Roger Members Enclosure guests… 🍽️🥂

In just a few weeks, we’ll all be trying to decide what to choose! And with a dedicated Pol Roger Bar within the Members Enclosure, it’s set to be the perfect place to relax and enjoy a day at Bramham in style.

Which dish (or champagne!) are you choosing first? ✨

We’re very much looking forward to welcoming Bubby back, will she keep her reign?! 👀

Defending champions Bubby Upton Eventing and Its Cooley Time return to the CCI4*-L at Defender Bramham Horse Trials next month – can they win back to back titles at the Yorkshire event?

The current Equine Influenza outbreak remains a very real concern across the industry, and at Bramham we are committed to doing everything possible to protect the health and wellbeing of all horses attending the event.

Our terms and conditions of entry already state that all vaccinations must be up to date on a 6-monthly basis, something all competitors have agreed to upon entering. Therefore, all horses entering Bramham during the event period must have an Equine Influenza vaccination administered within 6 months of the first day of their class.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding. These measures are being implemented in the best interests of horse welfare and to help protect the wider equestrian community. We also ask all competitors, connections and attendees to continue practising sensible biosecurity measures throughout the event week. All competitors have been emailed, any queries please don't hesitate to reply to that email.
