2026 Cornbury Preview Show

Sep 9, 2026

Nicole is joined by Catherine Austen from Cornbury House International for a look at a week that feels like an important one for the event’s future.

The brand-new Advanced Under 25 class brings together an international field as Cornbury starts learning, testing and preparing ahead of hosting the FEI Eventing World Championships for Under 25s in 2027. And they’ll face a new challenge, with the courses reversed for the first time and a brand-new Advanced track ready to be tested.

There’s plenty happening beyond the U25s too. The British Eventing Young Horse Championships bring some of the country’s best five, six and seven-year-olds together, the £45,000 Racehorse to Eventer Challenge Cup returns, and there are seriously good horses and riders to follow right across the sections.

Highlights

• Cornbury’s first step towards the 2027 U25 World Championships
• The international names to watch in the Advanced U25
• A brand-new Advanced cross-country track
• Five, six and seven-year-olds chasing national titles
• £45,000 on the line for the Thoroughbreds
• The combinations to follow across a packed week
