British open-mästerskapet genomgår stor formatförändring 2026

British open-mästerskapet 2026 kommer att genomgå en betydande formatförändring och en femfaldig ökning av förstapriset efter att arrangörerna lyssnat på ryttarnas feedback. Evenemanget återvänder till Hartpury University och Hartpury College den 11 till 16 augusti.

NAF Hartpury International Celebration of Eventing kommer att höja British open-mästerskapet till FEI:s fyrstjärniga nivå. Det kommer nu att köras inom ramen för NAF CCI4*-S, vilket säkerställer att den nationella titeln avgörs på samma bana och under samma uppmärksamhet som den internationella tävlingen. Den totala vinnaren av CCI4*-S kommer att krönas till British open-mästare för de som är behöriga.
