Badminton Horse Trials

Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo are the 2025 Mars Badminton Horse Trials champions, narrowly beating Oliver Townend and Cooley Rosalent in the concluding moments of an exciting five days of top-level sport.

Next year’s dates are 6-10 May 2026.

Badminton is the pinnacle of eventing and the CCI5* action kicks off on Wednesday with the first horse inspection. This is followed by two days of top-level dressage, before the cross-country phase takes place on Saturday. The event concludes with the showjumping, which runs in reverse order of merit, on Sunday.

Jane Tuckwell is the event director, while Eric Winter designs the cross-country course.
