The Fidelity Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials will have increased prize money across the board this year.
The winning riders of the eight and nine-year-old British Championship class will now take home £8,000 (compared to £5,000 last year) and £2,000 (up from £1,000) respectively and place money will also receive a pro rata boost.
“We have been very fortunate with a new title sponsor and great support from our long-term partners, hence we are now in a position to up the prize pot,” explained event director Mandy Hervieu.
“We’ve made improvements across the board to boost the Blenheim experience for all.”
The Blenheim Horse Trials take place on Sept 9-12.
