Epworth Horse Trials, one of the first two events of the British Eventing (BE) season, has been cancelled owing to “exceptionally wet ground conditions”.

Epworth (1) was due to run classes from GO BE80 to BE100plus on Saturday, 7 March. Poplar Park, the other fixture scheduled that weekend, is still due to run in Suffolk on both Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March, with sections from BE90 to open intermediate level.
