Badminton Horse Trials has announced that MARS EQUESTRIAN™ Sponsorship is to become the presenting sponsor for the 2022 Horse Trials. The event will be back on the international eventing calendar in 2022, taking place between Wednesday 4th and Sunday 8th May at The Duke of Beaufort’s Badminton estate in Gloucestershire.
“I am delighted that MARS EQUESTRIAN will be a presenting sponsor at Badminton 2022, and we are really looking forward to welcoming everyone back next year” commented The Duke of Beaufort.
“MARS EQUESTRIAN Sponsorship increased commitment to Badminton is fantastic news for everyone involved. It’s very much all systems go, and we are busy preparing to invite the exhibitors next month and will be opening the Box Office in January. We are all looking forward to a bumper Badminton 2022” says Event Director Jane Tuckwell
The event did not run in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic and was sorely missed by the leading riders around the world, including the current Badminton champion Piggy March, who won the last CCI5* held there in 2019
