Event riders have the chance to compete for a new £50,000 bonus at CIC3* level this year. The Shearwater Insurance Tri-Star Grand Slam “winner takes all” prize is on offer to anyone who can win three of the following five CIC3* events: Burnham Market (1), Belton, Houghton, Hopetoun and Burgham (2). Four of the events are run by two of the most prominent organisers in the British sport: Alec Lochore (Musketeer Event Management) and Stuart Buntine (BEDE Events), while the Burgham team is headed up by Martyn Johnson. “The hope is that by creating a prize pot of £50,000 we can not only support dedicated owners and riders, but also raise the profile of the sport. “By pitching the prize fund at the three-star level we believe that we have created a real opportunity for aspiring and amateur riders to win a significant amount of money.”
