Just seen that Chillham have also had to cancel.
So what has British Eventing done wrong?
- Thread starter Orangehorse
- Start date
Ample Prosecco
Still wittering on
And Richmond :-(
What a disaster this season has been. I do feel for everyone affected.

Chances of Bradwall running seem fairly slim... Desperately hoping both of mine get a run in!

In contrast Thoresby who cancelled on the day for dome classes are refunding 80% plus start fees.

Any news on the ground at Badminton? Anyone local?

Ground is really good where I am, Bradwall is not too far away, so as long as we do not get significant rain I think they will run

I'm also local... Rain forecast tomorrow, hope not too much!

@RachelFerd I'm not a million miles from Bradwall either - used to compete there - and we were forecast rain today which never came - we had warm sunshine and an ice cold drying wind, so all fingers crossed!

Bradwall can take a bit of rain and still be OK. The going is fine at the moment

We’re about 30 miles away. Ground actually pretty nice at the moment, but we’re meant to get a fair bit of rain over the next few days.

Kingston Maurwood College in Dorset to start running BE in 2024! Interesting choice as quite close to Bovington but nice to have another local event to go to..

Novice national sections at Chatsworth have been pulled because of weather/ground and sheer volume of horses

This is really good news, it has the potential to be a lovely venue. Let’s hope they put it in the right place in the calendar….

Fingers crossed that Chatsworth can run its remaining classes this weekend. All lorries being towed on, the novice classes have been dropped along with Friday's arena eventing due to the ground.
Chatsworth is a lovely event and great for spectators.

I should be at Llany this Saturday, I don't know if I'll be happier if they run or abandon at the moment. Our ground isn't ideal and I doubt theirs will be better. I'm towards the end so if it's a very chewed up course I may retire.
I'm also still waiting (like many) on a refund from abandonment 4 weeks ago. I don't object to the wait really, the money was gone the day I entered. However, I think it's a bit bad faith that start fees aren't immediately returned, and I think with the way things are BE needs to consider doing that as lots of people are quite fed up with their waits

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
Howick has just gone and that’s next week. Not a surprise

Llany posted yesterday that their going is great as they missed most of the rain earlier in the week. Fingers crossed the forecasts are meant to be better for the second half of the week so hopefully they may run and if they've been really really lucky they may well have good ground.

Please let Chatsworth happen 
Just had an email to say all 2* moved to Saturday which suits me well as gives me more time to organise my life tomorrow!

I hope something runs.
The next two days aren't bad but I don't know if it will be enough after this week

Disappointed Howick gone as was going to be our first 100 but not surprised.
I live quite close and the rain locally has been horrendous!
What a difference to this time last year.

I think it will be on, because I've got an entry and my horsebox decided to have problems on the way home from Aston - so sod's law means it will run because I can't get there

Always the way isn't it @RachelFerd
Hope you can get your box sorted soon. My week has involved sorting 4 new tyres for the tow car - which isn't mine, but Charlie's owner broke her foot/ankle a couple of weeks ago and is off her feet and the car had a slow puncture which we couldn't repair as it was also on the wear indicators for new tyres. So the fact I've sorted it may mean they don't run

If anyone is missing runs and wants a run at BE100 at Llanymymech, I think it will be up for the taking...

Oh no that’s so disappointing but I understand why they will prioritise the 4*.

Where have you seen that? Their facebook page is adamant that it is the Novice class that is cancelled and the 2* is still running.

I just went to check as I know 2* runners and I can;t see it either

You're right about it being hard to find, it mentions it here:
