The rolling parkland of Cirencester Park will welcome back eventing riders in March 2020, the first time that an affiliated Horse Trials has run on the Bathurst Estate since 1973
The new 2020 fixture replaces another Gloucestershire event, Gatcombe Horse Trials, which ran their last two events, the Spring Horse Trials and Gatcombe International in 2019. While Gatcombe International will be replaced by Cornbury Park in September, Cirencester Park has taken the March dates
