Hartpury is delighted to have been announced as host of the 2020 FEI Dressage and Eventing European Championships for Young Riders and Juniors.

The championships will provide spectators with an opportunity to watch potential world and Olympic champions in action within the setting of Hartpury’s multi-million pound equine facilities.

Hartpury, which hosted the 1997 European Pony Championships, stages a number of high-profile events each year, including the NAF Five Star International Hartpury Horse Trials.

Hartpury equine director Phillip Cheetham said: “We love horses at Hartpury and we’re extremely proud to have been named as host for the championships in 2020 – it’s a massive coup.

“It’s a real tribute to the world-class facilities that we have at Hartpury and the wealth of experience our team has in successfully staging top equine events, such as the NAF International Hartpury Horse Trials in August.

“We’re extremely excited about welcoming the best young riders in Europe to Hartpury in 2020 and providing the environment in which they’re able to produce their very best.”
