The Mars Badminton Horse Trials, taking place from May 7-11, has released its dressage schedule, featuring a guinea pig rider, Isabel White, who will perform her test at 8:30 AM on the first day. This role is traditionally filled by a younger rider to help judges prepare and gain experience. The first official competitor, Kirsty Chabert, will enter the arena at 9 AM, with the last competitor, Tim Price, scheduled for 4:17 PM on Friday.
Notable competitors to watch include Caroline Powell and Oliver Townend, with their tests starting at 9:07 AM and 9:14 AM on Thursday, respectively. The event will pause for a VE Day Commemoration at noon on the same day. Other prominent riders include Gemma Stevens, Harry Meade, and Jonelle Price, with various times throughout the event.
