16 Dec 2011

Allerton Park takes the next step

Allerton Park Horse Trials have announced their decision to add an advanced class to their its 2012 Autumn event, to fill the long standing gap left by the closure of Witton Castle Trials.  The event is scheduled to run 15th & 16th September 2012 and reflects the ongoing development of the event's committee in working with BE.

"We are so pleased to be moving to the next level" said event organiser Lady Mowbray.  "We feel that we have the right team in place to provide an advanced class that will be exciting to competitors and spectators alike."

The team comprises of course builder Dominic Lawrence, mentored by London 2012 Course Builder David Evans and 4 times Olympic medallist Ian Stark who has designed the courses.

"At last year's event we requested feedback from owners and riders as our aim is to provide one of the best quality events in the North.  We received so much support from British Eventing and competitors we decided it was the right time to take the step up."  Here are some of those comments from some of the UK's leading riders:

"Really like the venue and setup"  Oliver Townend

"Great event, well organised and in a fantastic setting" Jamie Atkinson

"A fantastic event.  A definite favourite." James Sommerville

"Beautiful - a pleasure to ride here." Julie Lawson

"A pleasure to compete here.  Thank you for all your hard work." Tracy Garside

"If I'm really honest, the facilities on offer here at Allerton are second to none. Starters, Judges, and others involved in running Allerton Park Horse Trials, make it a lovely, relaxed event to compete at.  See you in 2012."  John Thornton

"Very friendly people. Enjoyable day. Excellent going"   Dee and Hayden Hankey

We were delighted to read in Jo Prestwich’s article in Horse and Hound 29th September 2011 that Nicola Wilson said:

“There were loads of clever combinations and you couldn’t have asked for better going.”

Becky Crosbie- Starling who won Section G with Clifton Clicquot.  Referring to the course Becky said:

” I love it here – big, bold and it rides well.  The water is strong with loads to look at with all the spectators.”

Thank you.  See you next year.

2012 Dates Confirmed: 15th & 16th September 2012

1 Jun 2011

Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th September 2012

Come along and enjoy a great weekend of Eventing in beautiful North Yorkshire parkland. Horses and riders compete in dressage, show jumping and exciting cross-country trials in the scenic lakeside setting of Allerton Park Estate, close to the A1(M) between Harrogate and York.

True Competition

Eventing is an all-round test of horsemanship. It's one of very few sports that genuinely allow people to compete equally, whatever their experience. Men and women, amateurs and champions, young and experienced horses all compete fairly against each other, making it truly exciting for riders and spectators.

Access, refreshments and shopping

Allerton Park is just moments from the A1(M). The Show Jumping and Dressage arenas are easily accessible from the car parks. Enjoy a picnic or choose from the selection of catering facilities on the Park. Trade stands featuring a wide range of products also add to the day out.

DOGS are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.  Thank you

With thanks

The Event takes place under the guidance of British Eventing– the governing body for the sport of Eventing in Great Britain. The Event is only possible thanks to the dedication of our Event Committee and a huge band of volunteers.
