Badminton Horse Trials date changed for Coronation

To avoid a clash with the Coronation of Charles III and the Queen Consort, Badminton Horse Trials will be making a change to their schedule for 2023

Badminton Horse Trials, presented by Mars Equestrian, will start a day later than planned so that cross-country day doesn’t clash with the Coronation of Charles lll and the Queen Consort on Saturday 6 May 2023.

The dressage phase will now take place on Friday and Saturday (5–6 May), cross-country on Sunday (7 May) and the showjumping finale on Monday (8 May). Dressage will start earlier on Saturday so that everyone – competitors, spectators and officials – can be part of the historic day. The Coronation service will be shown on the big screens.
