Badminton Horse Trials has been a major feature in the equestrian calendar since the event was first started in 1949. Touted as the ‘World’s Most Important Horse Trials’, visitors from across Gloucestershire and beyond will find plenty to thrill spectators at the event in 2012.

The cross country day alone, this time being held on Sunday 6 May 2012, attracts crowds of up to 250,000 – the largest for any paid-entry sport event in the United Kingdom – so don’t hang around getting your hands on tickets for the Horse Trials, if you want to catch sight of this year’s action.
