UPDATE: The FPET updated us this evening letting us know that Rolex was unable to accommodate an additional walk this year. They hope to organize a walk for next year.

The Fox-Pitt Eventing Team reached out to us this morning to see if we could help them gauge interest in a course walk with William at Rolex.
As you’re undoubtedly aware, this would be a chance to walk the course with the current HSBC FEI No. 1 rider and potential Grand Slam winner in a potential Grand Slam-winning year.
The walk would be on Thursday (time TBA), open to the public and cost $15 per person. Update: Hannah of the FPET estimates the time of the course walk would be noon on Thursday; those under 16 years of age would walk for free.
WFP has said that “it’ll be all about Rolex this week and then we’ll focus on Badminton and the big dream of winning the Rolex Grand Slam.”
To help the Fox-Pitt Team gauge interest, please leave comments or at the very least click “like” below.
And of course, if you really want to make it happen, pass this post around to your friends!
We’ll keep you updated as details arise and have a comprehensive Rolex To-Do list of course walks and events posted soon.
