“Carlton Horse Trials was undoubtedly a huge success and thoroughly enjoyed by all involved...a great achievement. Carlton is now firmly set in the BE calendar giving riders a really well organized event and fantastic venue for riding at various levels. BE80(T) was run successfully for the first time in 2009 and will continue this year and beyond. Carlton offers a wonderful XC Course, using the topography to its maximum advantage with beautifully built fences. The varied training days that Nick and Sara organize are a perfect chance to train in an educational environment to ensure that you compete to the best of your ability.”
Chris Farr, British Eventing Regional Director (Central South)

BE80(T) classes are specifically aimed at introducing people to the sport and encouraging inexperienced horses and riders, building confidence in all areas. 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 Sunday 1 st August in the morning. Further preparation beforehand will be available for competitors - Caroline Moore (part of the Coaching Development Team) will be running Event Training Clinics four weeks before the horse trials. These clinics will cover the dressage, show jumping and cross country so that competitors can enter Carlton Horse Trials with confidence. The BE80(T) track is designed by Philip Herbert and includes some twenty fences, gallops and water.
