Redpost Equestrian is proud to announce that they will be the main title sponsor for the third year running of the long-format National three-day event classes at Bicton International Horse Trials this October. A family-run business and award-winning equestrian retailer, Redpost Equestrian will be sponsoring the BE80, BE90 and BE100 classes. The company shares a long-standing relationship with Bicton Arena, and remains dedicated to supporting one of Devon’s premier sporting venues, as well as the many competitors taking part.
Helen West, Co-Director of Bicton Arena, acknowledges this long running partnership:
“We are so grateful to Redpost Equestrian for their continued support of these unique classes which provide our grassroots competitors with such a fun and educational experience. The Redpost Equestrian BE90 & BE100 3DE sections are direct qualifiers for the Lemieux Badminton Grassroots Championships in May 2026 so competition will be fierce for the coveted qualifying spots. We are also excited that Redpost Equestrian have come on board to support the pilot of the BE80 3DE, the first of its kind within the British Eventing calendar”.
This exciting event, running from 22nd – 26th October, provides many riders with their only opportunity to take part in a long format event, with the thrill of partaking in phases A & C (roads & tracks and steeplechase). The Redpost Equestrian BE90 and BE100 3DE classes have become standout favourites in recent years, earning their place as the highlight in many grassroot riders’ calendars.
Ben Tuff, Redpost Managing Director commented, “We are delighted to be a part of the October International Horse Trials at Bicton this year. The BE80, BE90 and BE100 classes are rider favourites and it’s a perfect way to show our commitment to and support for the equestrian community. Who knows – we could be watching eventing champions of the future in the making!”
To ensure that riders have the best experience throughout the event, Redpost Equestrian will be offering a Click & Collect Service from their stand at Bicton. Should a competitor forget an essential item (or non-essential item), Redpost will be ready to deliver to Bicton next day — helping riders to stay focused on what matters most.
The winner of each section will also go home with an array of prizes, including a Rambo Turnout Rug, Redpost Voucher and a goodie bag. Each rider will also receive a Redpost Bucket, filled with treats for rider and horse.
