Recently back from the Tokyo Olympics, team gold medal winners Oliver Townend and Tom McEwen bring seven and four rides respectively, while travelling reserve and reigning World Champion, Ros Canter, has four horses running.
Assistant director Nicky Townshend said: ‘We have been working hard to gain approval for an increase in spectator numbers for some time. To finally hear that this application has been approved is fantastic news and bodes well for a truly exciting weekend of sport which can be enjoyed by more people than we felt might be possible this time last week.’
As well as the various equestrian competitions, which also include showing and show jumping, visitors to the horse trials can enjoy excellent shopping opportunities within the newly created ‘Heart of the Highlands’ area, supported by local, independent retailers.
A feast of new catering options will also be on-site, with a variety of cuisine like never before. Blair Castle are also host to VIP Afternoon Teas on Thursday and Friday, which include private parking, a castle tour and a single day ticket to the horse trials.
