Meet Oliver Townend this weekend at Blenheim Horse Trials
Badminton and Burghley winner Oliver Townend, will be signing exclusive photographs on the British Eventing stand at Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials on Friday and Saturday (11-12 September).
Oliver has completed two thirds of the Rolex Grand Slam, last achieved by Pippa Funnell in 2003, having claimed his first four-star win at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials in May with Edward and Robert Nicholson’s Flint Curtis and winning last weekend’s Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials on Carousel Quest, owned by Andrew Cawthray.
He is one of only a handful of riders to achieve the British four-star double in the same year and has been selected to represent Britain for the European Eventing Championships in Fontainebleau, France (23-27 September) on Flint Curtis.
For times of the signings, please visit the British Eventing trade stand (Number 1).
