Cholmondeley Castle Cancellation 2022

After careful consideration and discussions with both British Eventing and Cholmondeley Estate with regards to membership levels, entry patterns and rising costs’, we have taken the sad decision to cancel both events due to be held at Cholmondeley Castle 30th – 31st of July and the Unaffiliated Brigante Cup, 6th – 7th of August.

The weekend of the 30^th/31^st is a very busy weekend with a large number of events happening across the country. Considering this and the ongoing financial situation, we do not feel that the current entry levels will sustain that number of events and allow them all to run and be viable. We have tried to mitigate this clash of events by exploring different options, including looking at different dates and running in different formats. To date, none of which have been successful in their application, which has limited our options.  

We are so grateful for your continued support, and we really are sorry that we have had to make this decision. We hope Cholmondeley Castle Horse Trials will return to the calendar in 2023.

Best wishes,

The Musketeer Team
