The 2025 edition of Blenheim International (18–21 September) will host both the Agria FEI Eventing European Championship (CCI4*-L) and the prestigious CCI4*-S for up-and-coming equine stars.

While Europe’s top eventers will battle it out for the continental championship title at the British venue, several Australians are entered in the CCI4*-S – a showcase for eight- and nine-year-olds that offers spectators the chance to spot the champions of the future.
