New qualifying class added for Express Eventing

There will be a new qualifying class for the Express Eventing series this year.

The qualifier will take place at the CLA Game Fair at Blenheim Palace (24 July) and will boast a prize pot of £10,000.

Unlike in previous years, the 2011 series is open to any qualifying combination. There will be 16 places in each qualifier, eight for senior riders and eight for junior riders, with the top placed in each group going through to the final at Horse of the Year Show (4 October).

The other three qualifiers will be held at the Bolesworth Classic, the Lincolnshire Show and Gatcombe’s Festival of Eventing.
