Sam Watson propone una nueva vía para impulsar las inscripciones en Badminton y Burghley

El jinete Sam Watson ha sugerido crear una nueva vía hacia el nivel cinco estrellas para hacer frente al descenso en el número de participantes en los eventos principales Mars Badminton y Defender Burghley.

Badminton registró 61 participantes en 2026, su cifra más baja en más de 20 años. Burghley contó con 52 participantes en 2025, igualando su cifra más baja en al menos dos décadas. Watson señaló una caída del 36,9 por ciento en los eventos de formato largo que sirven de base entre 2014/2015 y 2024/2025, mientras que los eventos de formato corto disminuyeron solo un 2,9 por ciento.
