Be Part of the Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials
We’re thrilled to offer a fantastic opportunity for our Members to be part of the opening ceremony at this year’s Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials on Wednesday 17th September 2025. There are no ponies needed for this ceremony, making it the perfect stage for all Members regardless of whether they own a horse, or even ride!
The Agria Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials is a world-renowned event, and this year is holding the Agria FEI Eventing European Championship. The event also hosts the evoke Pony Club Eventer Challenges, which take place on Friday 19th September! With world-class competition, extensive shopping and beautiful scenery, this iconic event needs no further introduction.
So, where do you come in? We’ve been invited to bring along up to 36 Members to play a key role in the grand opening ceremony, acting as flag bearers and escorts. The ceremony itself promises to be full of exciting additions, so you’ll be there alongside some incredible individuals – all will be revealed in time! All you need to bring is yourself, a packed lunch (although there will be food vendors on site) and your Pony Club gear – no ponies needed!
As a thank you, you’ll be provided with a Pony Club goodie bag bursting with merchandise, alongside an exclusive branded Pony Club x Blenheim gilet.
In true Pony Club fashion, to take part in this fantastic opportunity, you’ll have to enter our competition! Here are the rules:
