Pre-olympic Barbury supports MDIRF (4-6 July 2008, Barbury Castle) http://www.barburyhorsetrials.co.uk/

Despite the rainy weekend, world class shone through at The 2008 St. James’s Place Barbury International Horse Trials where the MDIRF was the official charity,  represented  on the trade stand.

Our thanks go to Mitsubushi, who once again kindly provided a Colt CZ1 3 door worth £6,250.00 in the Roll-a-Dice competition and a silent auction and raffles were also held on the stand, whilst spectators enjoyed world class eventing action with superlative spectator viewing at this prestigious venue in the Wiltshire Downs, near Marlborough.

Australian and British Olympic team members dominated the Barbury placings  – as it turned out, a taste of what was to come in Hong Kong where they took the silver and bronze team medals, both only to be beaten by a very impressive, Germany.   In the Barbury finale it was local, Devizes -based Australian team member, Lucinda Fredericks who took top honours with her little mare, Headley Britannia.
