Are you going to the 2022 Houghton International Horse Trials?

The magnificent grounds of Norfolk's Houghton Hall will soon resound with the thunder of horses’ hooves in one of the most exciting weekends of eventing in Britain.

The Houghton International Horse Trials, incorporating the FEI Nations Cup, will take place from Thursday May 26 until Sunday May 29.

The event won international status in 2007, and for the last 15 years more than 700 horses, including 350 International competitors, have taken part in each year of the trials.

Houghton hosts the only British leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup, a global competition. Last year the British team won on home soil; a feat the crowds will be hoping can be repeated this time.

Alongside the competitions, there will be a variety of non-eventing classes for equestrians of all sizes and experience to enjoy – from Pony Club competitions to British Scurry and trial driving.
