Six Figure Prize for Badminton Horse Trials 2017
Badminton Horse Trials 2017 – Wednesday May 3 – Sunday May 7
In 2017 the winner of the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials will take home the record breaking prize of £100,000! In this professional era of the sport, the winner of the most prestigious event of them all will be properly rewarded. Proving the event has come a long way in it’s forty year history, in 1976 the top prize was £1,000.
There will also be a 10% increase in the overall prize pot to nearly £360,000 with prize money going down to 20th place of the usual starting figure of 80 riders.
Event Director Hugh Thomas commented “It has long been our policy to regard owners and riders as the first call on such commercial success as the event has, and to keep the prize money well ahead of inflation. I am also especially proud of the fact that the connections of every horse that finishes takes away more than it cost them to enter”.
