Eventing: EASTER BADMINTON LOOKS FORWARD TO BUMPER FAMILY CROWD

2011 Badminton Horse Trials:

Badminton 2011 will be a unique Event. For reasons of both TV and International Horse Trials schedules and the recent innovation of running over a Bank Holiday weekend, the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials will run over the Easter Holidays, from Thursday April 21st to the climax on Easter Monday, April 25.

Eventing: 2010 Badminton Wins 2011 Event of the Year Award

 The Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials has been chosen for the prestigious Event of the Year Award 2010 - Eventing, by the International Equestrian Yearbook, "L'Annee Hippique".  This accolade is voted for by riders and other participants and is in recognition not just for the competetive stature and organisation of the Event, but also for visitor satisfaction and infrastructure.  Badminton Director Hugh Thomas said, "It is a great honour to be recognised by our peers and it will certainly give great encouragement to the hundreds of volunteers who really make the event work.  We will try and win again in 2011!".
