An exciting new long format British Eventing competition for riders competing at BE90 and BE100, the Uvex Frickley Cup presents riders with the opportunity to experience long format competition.
The Uvex Frickley Cup saw riders complete a dressage test on the Friday before riding across an extended championship cross country course on the Saturday. The weekend was completed on Sunday with reverse-order showjumping on the final day, followed by a mounted presentation prize-giving.

 Event Director William Buck said of the planned event: “I couldn’t have been more delighted when I put the idea forward to British Eventing and it was embraced in the way that it was. I very much want the Uvex Frickley Cup competition to become not only a great experience for competitors but also a social one where they can enjoy the evenings socialising with each other, as well as bringing their friends and family with them if they wish to.
“We are all extremely excited about it and we hope that it will be embraced by members in the same way.”
Simon Middleton, director of Zebra Products said: “I am a keen eventer myself, and when I heard of the new long format competition for riders competing at this level, I very much wanted to support it. It is a great initiative, and it will see not only great competition but also bring together the eventing community in a unique and fun way. I am looking forward to seeing it first-hand and presenting to the winners after three great days of competition.”

Rosie Williams OBE, Chief Executive for British Eventing said: “This is such a great opportunity for our grassroots riders, and I would like to acknowledge thanks to the team at Frickley for putting the idea forward as one they would like to incorporate into their international fixture.  We are going to support the initiative by having help on the ground that members can ask advice from, whether it be a question on tack or an accompanied course walk. The entire three days will be about creating an environment that not only gives them three days of competition but also three days of fun!”
