Blenheim Horse Trials will go ahead, says organisers

Rumours that Blenheim Horse Trials might be in doubt this year have been refuted by event director Mandy Herviue.

“We are very lucky that the ground at Blenheim drains exceptionally well,” explains Mandy. “We have been managing the ground very carefully and the course is looking fabulous. The ground around here holds up really well.”

There had been concerns that the recent wet weather, which has resulted in a number of horse trails being cancelled around the country, would prevent Blenheim from running.
