Three day eventing presents the ultimate challenge in horsemanship as horse and riders must execute and perfect three disciplines, dressage, cross country and show jumping to take the coveted title.

Performing well in one competition is never enough to secure victory. As the competition hots up so does the pressure and every penalised mistake can make all the difference between winning and losing.

Bramham International Horse Trials is one of the premier and most demanding three-day events in the country. As a three star event it attracts the best riders from across the globe, many of whom will be going on to perform at the Rio Olympics later this year.

Legendary three-day eventer William Fox-Pitt has won the Bramham event on no fewer than nine occasions, whilst Pippa Funnell and Andrew Nicholson have also taken the top prize.
