Due to exceptional rainfall, which has left the ground at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials site totally waterlogged and partially flooded, the four-star event has been cancelled for 2012. More rain is expected this week, leaving no chance of the ground drying up. The CCI**** was scheduled to run May 3-7 in Gloucestershire, England.
Purchasers of advanced tickets, exhibitors, sponsors and riders will be refunded as soon as is practical.
The last time the event was cancelled due to weather was in 1987. See photos of the flooded grounds on the Badminton website.
