Jonty and Art – Next Stop the SsangYong Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials

Irish Olympic combination, Jonty Evans and Cooley Rorkes Drift, are to compete in the CCI3* at the SsangYong Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials (13-17 September). It will be the first outing in Britain for Jonty and “Art” since the highly successful crowd-funding raised £500,000 to buy the horse to keep the partnership together.

Jonty and Art had an unfortunate parting of the ways at fence 16 at Millstreet International last week, so will be hoping for a good run at Blenheim.

There will be a strong Irish contingent travelling to the event. Entries are:
