About Brigstock Horse Trials at Rockingham Castle
Set on a hill overlooking five counties, Rockingham Castle was built by William the Conqueror. The castle was a royal residence for 450 years. In the 16th century, Henry VIII granted it to Edward Watson and for 450 years it has remained a family home.
The pre-dominantly Tudor building, within Norman walls, has architecture, furniture and works of art from practically every century. Twelve acres of formal and wild garden command splendid views.
In 2013 Brigstock International Horse Trials is moving to the Great Park Rockingham Castle and promises to be a great event for riders and visitors alike. The park stands on an escarpment overlooking the Welland Valley on the border of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and England smallest county, Rutland.

How to enter
Horse & Hound readers are invited to design a cross-country fence for the Brigstock Horse Trials 2013. The fence will become the Horse & Hound fence on the cross-country course. Entrants are encouraged to use Horse & Hound and Rockingham Castle as inspiration for the fence, although this is not compulsory, with the main aim being to create a memorable and exciting fence for rider and spectator alike. The drawing can be anything from a simple sketch through to a full drawing. Creativity and imagination will catch the eye of the judges.
