It was fantastic to head to Bramham Park for a behind-the-scenes look at the work that goes into @defenderbramhamhorse
We heard from Nick Lane Fox, whose father, George, started the event in 1974. He shared some of his earliest memories of the horse trials, whilst @jackmantelequestrian and Jack-Thomas Watson spoke of why Bramham is so special 🐎
@andy_heffernan and @davidevansdesigns took us on a tour of the cross-country course and gave an insight into the design and build process – the Bramham course is an important test for riders preparing for major international championships and 5* events 🏅
As well as the horse trials and the chance to watch world-class sport, the four-day event has a programme packed with events for visitors to enjoy, from showjumping competitions and Pony Club mounted games to shopping, food, and family activities - read more in June's edition of Yorkshire Life! 🗞 📍 Bramham Park

What fun was had today!
Press day at @defenderbramhamhorse
Recognise anyone!?
Great to see Andy Heffernans 4* track coming to life. All set to be a great competition in just over a months time.
We are delighted that Belsay neighbour and @stepneybankstables18 graduate, Jack Thomas Watson, is also part of the Healing Power of the Horse at Belsay International Horse Trials.
Jack talks about why horses are such an important part of his life, despite coming from a non-horsey background.
Thank you to our generous sponsors for supporting this exciting initiative @chasercomms and @brookfield_equestrian1 .

Happy team at Burnham Market. 4/5 top ten.
Weasel was again a star. 2/2 double clears in his spring advance classes. He is ready to tackle Belsay International Horse Trials and onto Defender Bramham Horse Trials next month. Our wonderful CFH Capri Vivendi and Jack Mantel Sports Horses unluckily parted company in the advanced but both are home safe and well.
There are mornings, and then there are mornings at Matfen.
We are proud to partner with @belsayhorsetrials - a celebration of the county’s breathtaking landscapes, rich heritage, and equestrian excellence.

A great night at the “Stable Stars” demo at Stepney Bank Stables celebrating their 25th Anniversary.
Emma Carmichael, Jack Mantel, Maisie and Bailey put their horses through their paces with Jack Thomas Watson and Adam Short giving an insight into each combination.
It was so good to see so many people supporting the event, helping to raise funds for Stepney Bank Stables.
