Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials increases prize money
| Fidelity Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials increases prize money 9th-12th September 2010 The Organisers of the Fidelity Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials are pleased to announce that, as a result of generous sponsorship, they will be increasing the prize money across the board this year. This news follows the announcement that Blenheim's British CIC*** championship for 8 & 9 year old horses has been extended across all 4 days to allow a 70 plus field to start. The winning riders of the CCI*** and CIC*** 8 and 9 year old British Championship class will now take home £8,000 (compared to £5,000 last year) and £2000 (up from £1,000) respectively and place money will also receive a pro rata boost. | |
We have made improvements across the board to boost the Blenheim experience for all of the people who come to the event - and it is nice to be able to upgrade the facilities and the prize money for riders as well.
"Although people will see quite a few improvements this year, it will be a while before significant changes can be made to the site infrastructure or cross country fences because of the special planning permissions required for a world heritage site, such as Blenheim.
"Like many organisers, we often struggle to make ends meet so the financial support of our event sponsors is crucial. I hope that all those who enjoy the event will, in turn, support these companies in terms of buying their products and services or just saying a simple ‘thank you'," ends Mandy.
Full details of the event can be found, and advanced discount tickets booked, at
www.blenheim-horse.co.uk until 3rd September; thereafter tickets need to be bought on the gate.
