Little Downham International - September 2022

WELCOME

Welcome to Little Downham International Horse Trials in this our 21st anniversary year.

I wish to THANK YOU sincerely for making your entry to this fixture despite the difficult times affecting everyone. As an event that works for the benefit of the sport we've utilised our smaller entry to everyone's benefit, scheduling all 3 phases on one day keeping costs as low as possible for all involved

I would like to extend my thanks to the vast number of volunteers who come together to support these events throughout the year, without whom we simply wouldn't be able to run the events. An additional thanks goes to the Event Horse Owners Association for their generous support of the EHOA Members 4* league that culminates at Little Downham today, and will award upwards of £20,000 of additional prize money to the top ranked 4* combinations.
