BE80(T) classes are specifically aimed at
introducing people to the sport
and encouraging inexperienced horses and riders,
building confidence in all areas.
Carlton Horse Trials has held the very popular
BE80(T) class from 2009.

BE80(T) competitors will benefit from the advice of BE Accredited Trainers who will be on
hand at the event to advise in the collecting ring, and on the preparatory course walks.
Nick Turner, both popular and extremely experienced will be the Trainer at Carlton
Horse Trials and will also hold a course walk on the morning of the competition
specifically for the BE80 competitors. Further preparation beforehand will be available
through the cross country clinics held at Carlton so that competitors can enter the
Horse Trials with confidence.
