Some of the biggest eventing riders in the world have been announced to attend London Capital & Finance Osborne Horse Trials, the newest event in the equestrian calendar.
Horse Trials make their Isle of Wight debut from 25th-26th July, with an unmissable line-up of equestrian stars due to make the ferry ride over the Solent for 2 days of tense competition.
Fans making the trip to Osborne House will get the chance to rub shoulders with the likes of Andrew Hoy, Australian Olympian who holds no fewer that 3 gold medals and has an eventing career spanning 45 years. Andrew will be riding 3 horses across the 2 day event.
With no less than 155 top 3 placings at International FEI Events, Oliver Townend will certainly be one to watch around the new course at Osborne House. Oliver is set for a busy event, with 4 confirmed rides.
Izzy Taylor finished 2017 as British Eventing’s highest ranked lady rider, a testament to her ever-climbing reputation as one of Great Britain’s biggest riders. Izzy will be making the most of her trip across the Solent with 4 horses taking part.
Challenging these seasoned stars are the likes of Ludwig Svennerstål and Emily King, 2 young but hotly-anticipated riders who will be joining the line-up with one ride each.
Stuart Buntine, Managing Director of event organisers BEDE Events, lamented his excitement:
“The line-up for the event is just fantastic. We’re debuting a new event, a new format of eventing, and to see so many talented, world renowned riders signing up is brilliant.”
