Find out what time your favourites will start their dressage tests at Blenheim Horse Trials


  • The dressage times have been released for the CCI4*-L and young horse CCI4*-S at Blenheim Horse Trials (15 to 18 September).

    A total of 92 combinations come forward for the CCI4*-L, with all starters accepted at the first horse inspection this afternoon (14 September).

    The first 44 horses and riders in the CCI4*-L will start their Blenheim campaign tomorrow and the rest will perform between the white boards on Friday.

    The line-up for the CCI4*-L at this year’s event includes former Blenheim champion Bella Innes Ker, the 2019 Burghley winners Pippa Funnell and MGH Grafton Street, plus a handful of Burghley re-routers from the 2022 event and some exciting international challengers.

    The CCI4*-S for eight- and nine-year-old horses features 71 starters, again with dressage split across Thursday and Friday.

    Dressage starts at 9am on both days, finishing around 4.30pm, and all phases will be available to watch on a free live-stream.

    The first horse into Blenheim’s iconic Palace Arena will be PSH Encore, the first of British competitor Aimee Penny’s three rides in the CCI4*-L class.
