International Horse Trials at Bicton Arena

Enjoy the thrill of witnessing the world’s best horse-and-rider combinations take on the ultimate equestrian challenge at Bicton International Horse Trials. Set in the glorious Grade I listed parkland, we are delighted to host the Great Britain leg of the prestigious FEI Eventing Nations Cup Series at CCI4* level. With teams expected from Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, this competition promises to showcase the very best of our sport.

We are proud to host the British Young Rider National Championships at the CCI3*-L level, showcasing emerging talent in the sport and providing a platform for the next generation of aspiring Olympic athletes to excel. This year sees the addition of the main Spring Three-Day Event trial for Juniors, as well as welcoming the Pony Riders for the first time here in Devon for a CCIP2* trial, providing a unique opportunity to witness the stars of the future.

The CCI3*-L and CCI2*-L classes provide an invaluable opportunity for combinations to gain experience and secure essential qualifications for the next step in their career progression. These classes will showcase some of the sport’s rising equine stars, many of whom are likely to compete at the World Young Horse Championships in Le Lion d’Angers, France, at the end of the season.
