Coast spends the day at Chilham Castle BE Horse Trials
Over the weekend Chilham Park hosted Chilham Castle British Eventing Horse Trials. Classes ran on both Saturday and Sunday, these included BE80(T) through to a selection of Novice classes.
Chilham Park is set in the beautiful grounds of Chilham Castle in Kent. The cross country course offers a huge range of fences and is popular with riders at all levels. Chilham hosts a number of British Eventing competitions each year and this weekend’s event was the first of the 2018 season.
The Coast team attended the event on Saturday to support some friends competing on the day. Although the sun was nowhere to be seen we were lucky enough to miss the rain and had a great day following the usual thrills and spills of eventing.

Louise Jackson and Kahtan Hope For The Best who finished 12th in Chavereys BE80(T) Section G
This year Chilham’s layout was altered slightly with the show jumping below the castle and the dressage to the right of the show jumping. The cross country start and finish had also moved to where the cross country warm up has been in previous years. A lot of competitors commented throughout the day on how the change of layout was refreshing.
For those competitors registered with the South East Eventers League, Chilham (1) was a qualifying event for this season, Coast is sponsoring this year’s SEEL Veteran Rider rankings. At the end of March Bronia Hill was leading the Veteran Rider rankings with 6 points.
