Badminton Horse Trials

The Badminton Horse Trials is a three-day event, one of only six annual Concours Complet International (CCI) Four Star events as classified by the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI), which takes place in April or May each year in the park of Badminton House. The Trials open with the Inspection of Horses at the north front of Badminton House, followed by dressage, cross-country and, on the final day, show jumping.

Badminton was first held in 1949 by the 10th Duke of Beaufort in order to let British riders train for future international events and was advertised as "the most important horse event in Britain".
