Fairfax & Favor Rockingham International 2022 - order or view videos here
This weekend not only sees the return of the Fairfax & Favor Rockingham International into the eventing calendar after two years lost during the pandemic but also celebrates two great milestones – the team’s tenth season of hosting the Horse Trials in the Great Park and 950 years of living history at the castle.
Rockingham Castle has borne witness to plenty of entertainment on horseback throughout the many centuries of its history, from Knights meeting at the tilt to Medieval Kings heading out to hunt in the surrounding forest, but this week it is horses of a different kind at the heart of the 950th anniversary celebrations.
The first day of competition is now done with the National classes completing and the International competitors having taken to the dressage arenas
