Leading you onto the ultimate challenge of eventing - the cross country with it’s courses taking you out across open countryside to view horse and rider tackling a huge variety of obstacles at speed. We welcome dogs, but please be sure to have your them on a secure short lead at all times to ensure the competitors safety and enable you to appreciate and respect this special environment and enjoy it’s wildlife.
We say goodbye to our course designer Ian Stark OBE this year. We will be forever grateful to him for making his mark on the Intermediate andAdvanced courses at Allerton Park and providing our competitors with a challenging but fair test of horse and rider We wish Ian well in this new chapter of his life and look forward to welcoming him back to Allerton Park in the future on his young horses. Ian leaves the Intermediate course in the very capable hands of our BE100 and Novice designer Rob McSkimming. We are delighted to say that Ian has agreed to remain atAllerton Park as our consultant for the future.
GRATEFUL THANKS
The Allerton Park Horse Trials Committee is deeply indebted to the events’ sponsors, who enable us to maintain our cross-country courses to a high standard. The committee is also most grateful to Nell Lady Mowbray for generously hosting the event within this beautiful setting. We wish to thank the family for making their estate and staff available to prepare the park and for the many years the horse trials has run.
We are enormously indebted to our huge band of loyal volunteers - dressage and fence judges, timekeepers, stewards, T-run staff and many more who, so generously give their time throughout the year, without whose help, this event would be unable to run. We owe special thanks to our highly professional emergency teams of doctors and veterinary surgeons, whose expertise and advice is totally invaluable.
And finally, special thanks to the Estate staff for their work throughout the year, and our grazier, Simon Armstrong, who looks after the pasture so well, and is exceptionally tolerant of our requests to move his sheep about. Additionally we would like to offer our thanks to Ripon Farm Services for their generous loan of their exhibition trailer for our dressage personnel, and the use of their Gators.
OLYMPIC LEGACY
Allerton Park Horse Trials are honored to be a beneficiary of the 2012 Olympic Legacy in the form of The Chestnut Logs. These were jumped by our Silver-medal winning GB team.
This year we are proud to support the Yorkshire Children’s Charity.

Events Timing Team White Rose
Today’s cross country timekeepers and starters are part of the White Rose Events Timing Team. Originally a motor sport timing team, officials, who were running a special stage on the RAC Rally at Bramham Park, were approached by the organisers of Bramham Horse Trials and asked if they would be interested in timing the horse trials. We have timed at Bramham Horse Trials every year since 1974.
White Rose Events Timing Team
Today’s cross country timekeepers and starters are part of the White Rose Events Timing Team.
The team originally timed motor sport events for example the RAC Rally and it was through this that the team was approached by Bramham Horse Trials and asked if they would be interested in timing a different type of horse power We have timed at Bramham Horse Trials every year since 1974.
We give our time freely as volunteers to Yorkshire events covering approximately 21 days per year. As with all volunteers we are of varying ages and backgrounds but most of the team have been involved with horses at some stage and we enjoy the sport of eventing.
We are always looking for new volunteers to join us.
Only a very few of the original team are still involved, but others have joined us. We currently support events mainly in Yorkshire for approximately 30 days each year where we get to chat to the Olympic stars of London 2012 and the future stars of tomorrow.
If anyone is interested in joining us, please contact Mrs Gay Steel on 07932 900798 email gay.steel@btinternet.com for further details.
If anyone is interested in joining us please contact Mrs. Gay Steel 01423 501091 for further details.
