The British Eventing Support Trust is inviting eventing fans and supporters to join them for a Welcome Party at this year’s Cornbury House Horse Trials. The welcome event will take place on Thursday 11th September at The Wychwood Inn, right in the heart of the action at Cornbury House Horse Trials, from 7:00pm.
Attendees can look forward to a special evening of entertainment with food, fun and fundraising all in aid of the charity’s work supporting British Eventing competing members wellbeing. For just £20, guests will receive a paella (with a vegetarian option available) and drink of their choice thanks to the Cornbury partners, including: a glass of Mirabeau Rosé, bottle of Hawkstone Lager, a Lost Explorer Margarita or an elderflower pressé.
The evening’s entertainment includes a live recording of The Eventing Weekly Podcast, hosted by Saffron Cresswell and featuring special guests, plus plenty of time to rub shoulders with well-known faces from the eventing community.
All the money raised from the evening will help the British Eventing Support Trust continue their crucial work, offering physical support, mental health support, expert guidance and in some cases financial support.
“This is the perfect way to start the weekend at Cornbury House Horse Trials, enjoying some delicious food, great company and the chance to help us raise funds that will make a real difference to event riders,” said British Eventing Support Trust chair of trustees Ian Stark. “We hope that lots of our supporters are able to join us to raise money and enjoy the atmosphere”.
David Howden, Founder and President of Cornbury House Horse Trials added: “We are delighted to be supporting this incredibly worthwhile charity for the second year. The work the BE Support Trust team do to support event riders wellbeing could not be more valuable, and we are really looking forward to kicking off Cornbury with an evening of entertainment and excellent food and drink thanks to our brilliant partners.”
Mitch and Brayden of The Eventing Weekly Podcast said: “BE Support Trust is a cause close to our hearts – our wives and many of our friends are eventers, and our podcast exists to celebrate and connect this amazing community. If sharing a few laughs and stories over a couple of beers helps raise funds and awareness, we’re all in.”
