Horse Trials & British Eventing

Overview

British Eventing Breckenbrough Horse Trials runs in early April each year. Breckenbrough’s aim is to give you an educational and fun experience as a rider, owner or horse during your visit. The Bell team love sharing their wonderful facilities with you during the Event season to compete, train or hire.


Cross Country Course

David Evans XC Course Builder

All of our tracks are designed by Olympic Course Builder David Evans and built by Paul Ellis and team. The course is run over permanent, extremely well-drained sandy grassland. Our unique going means we have the ability to run when other events are under water. The ground is never holding and therefore gives confidence to horse and rider. Over the BE weekend we have a dedicated team working to maintain the ground conditions.

The tracks combine inviting solid and portable fences with alternatives at the more difficult fences. The venue features two water complexes and ditch combinations.

Show Jumping Phase

The Show Jumping section is usually run on our large arena or in a dry year we will often run on grass . 

Dressage Phase

Our dressage warm-up area is flat with plenty of room away from the excitement of the jumping sections.
