The Belsay International Horse Trials is set to take place this summer.
The event, which will take place from May 28 to June 1, will mark the end of the 2024 Northumberland Challenge and the beginning of the 2025 competition.
The Northumberland Challenge is an accumulator prize league that runs across the CCI3*-S, CC2*-S, and the BE100 competitions at Belsay, Alnwick Ford, and Burgham International Horse Trials.
The total potential prize pot is £61,000.
Due to the cancellation of Belsay last year, the 2024 Northumberland Challenge was rolled over and will finish this year at Belsay International, where the new 2025 Challenge will also start.
The Northumberland Challenge offers horse and rider combinations that enter these classes at all three venues the chance to win cash bonuses of up to £25,000 (CCI3*-S), £20,000 (CCI2*-S), and £6,000 (BE100) if they are victorious at all three venues.
They must enter all three events to be in with a chance.
Laura de Wesselow, Belsay event director, said: "This is all about showcasing our beautiful Northumberland venues and encouraging the best riders and their horses to come and compete here.
"We are hugely grateful to our sponsors for 2024 and 2025 and welcome W.S. Straughan as the new sponsor of the CCI3-S* Challenge this year.
"Thanks also go to our creative insurance brokers McClarron Sports Ltd for enabling us to offer this fantastic accumulator prize fund."
Craig Anderson of Alnwick Ford and Burgham Horse Trials said: "Competitors are always keen that their efforts should be rewarded and highlighted, particularly at the grassroots level.
"The Northumberland Challenge answers that need."
Rosie Williams, British Eventing’s CEO, said: "British Eventing is delighted that these organisers and sponsors are working together to promote our sport for the good of competitors and owners.
"The Northumberland Challenge is a super initiative and one which should be replicated at other venues around the country."
As the 2025 Northumberland Challenge kicks off at Belsay International, it is all to play for with brand new prize pots on offer.
Competitors are reminded that they must enter the same competition on the same horse at all three venues to be eligible.
