Manvendra Singh made history as the first Indian event rider in many years to win an FEI international class on British soil, securing victory in the Uvex-sponsored CCI2-S section J at Cornbury House Horse Trials aboard Grand Marnier. Singh, who has been riding the horse for four months under the guidance of coach Declan Cullen, completed the event on a dressage score of 31.7. Other notable winners included Josh Levett in section H on Gortin House, Caroline Harris in section I on Isington Girl Power, and New Zealand’s Jesse Campbell who won the Pragnell CCI3-S section F riding Speedwell.
The event also featured the ARC Racehorse to Eventer Challenge, led by Clarke Johnstone on Sparky Lad after dressage and cross-country phases, with a £50,000 prize pot at stake. Cornbury House Horse Trials, held in the scenic Cornbury Park, combines top-level equestrian competition with local sustainable food, premium hospitality, and family activities. The event’s cross-country action is broadcast live on Horse & Country TV’s streaming platform H&C+, with further details and ticket information available on the official Cornbury House Horse Trials website.
