Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29 Journalists Posted August 29 The entries for the inaugural £50,000 Arena Racing Company (ARC) Racehorse to Eventer Challenge Cup at Cornbury House Horse Trials feature several former racehorses. The event will be held from September 10-14 in Oxfordshire. The 49-strong entries will compete for a first-place prize of £45,000. Some of the retrained horses have learned their new craft at the hands of William Fox-Pitt, Bubby Upton, Piggy March, Izzy Taylor and Oliver Townend. This new class, designed to promote and showcase the suitability of ex-racehorses for eventing, is the brainchild of Jayne McGivern of Dash Grange Stud, a prominent owner of both racehorses and event horses, as well as the stallion Golden Horn. It has the support of ARC, and is hosted by David Howden, who shares Jayne's love of both sports, at Cornbury House Horse Trials. There will also be an innovative and exciting blend of local, sustainable food and drink from our neighbouring farms, premium hospitality, and interactive children's activities over the weekend of September 13-14. Tickets start at £10, and children 12 and under attend for free. All the cross-country action from Cornbury House Horse Trials will be shown live on Horse & Country TV's streaming platform H&C+. For more information and to buy tickets, please visit the Cornbury House Horse Trials website.
