British Eventing (BE) is delighted to announce the pilot launch of XC +, an exciting new concept designed to offer more flexibility for our members.

⭐️XC+ is a shorter format of eventing, allowing participants to compete in two (2) out of the three (3) phases of the sport on the day.

⭐️XC+ will run alongside standard BE competitions at BE80 and BE90 levels at selected events with sufficient capacity.

⭐️XC+ is open to all British Eventing members, including Pay-As-You-Go members, who have completed a standard class at the same level within the past 12 months.

⭐️Members will be able to enter XC + one week after the ballot date and will have limited availability during the pilot year. Timings will integrate into the event schedule.

⭐️The entry fee for XC+ is 75% of the standard class fee, providing an affordable option for participation.

⭐️Standard rules for each phase apply, ensuring consistency with regular BE events, although the dress code for XC+ is more relaxed.

Without our loyal and highly valued community of volunteers, we simply wouldn’t be able to run events, and it is for this reason that we are delighted to open nominations for the BE Volunteer of the Year Awards 2024. These awards, supported by the EHOA - The Event Horse Owners Association, recognise and reward the outstanding contribution that volunteers make to British Eventing.

The categories are;
🌟Fence Judges of the Year
🌟Volunteer of the Year
🌟Young Volunteer of the Year

Nominations will close on 20 February 2025, after which the winners will be announced and awards presented at Badminton Horse Trials 2025 early next season.

BE CEO, Rosie Williams, said; “Our sport’s volunteers are a key part of running British Eventing, and these awards not only celebrate their passion and dedication, but hopefully go some way to expressing our sincere gratitude for their hard work and commitment. We cannot thank our volunteers enough for all they do, and look forward to presenting these awards.”
