The countdown is on for this week’s SsangYong Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials (19-22 September 2019) in Oxfordshire — and it looks set to stay warm and dry for the first three days, before turning showery overnight into Sunday, with a chance of some thunder on Saturday night. Make sure you bring your sunblock for the Thursday to Saturday and pack a lightweight waterproof coat if you’re planning to attend on Sunday.
