Other highlights of the British Jumping Derby Meeting include the Bunn Leisure Derby Trial (Friday) and the British Speed Derby (Saturday).
The Longines Royal International Horse Show, the official show of The British Horse Society, is one of the most prestigious events in the equestrian calendar. This summer, the show will play host to the new format Furusiyya FEI Nations Cup series, held on Friday 2nd August. It’s the only competition where spectators can see the British team compete on home turf, and the pressure will be on for the Brits to capitalise on their gold-medal success of last summer in Greenwich.
