In 2024, we bid a very fond farewell to the beloved Blair Castle International in Scotland, which ran for the final time in 2024 after being a major part of the eventing calendar for over three decades. The team at EN would like to extend our gratitude to the hard-working individuals who worked tirelessly to put on one of the best events in our sport.
The competition calendar will not be left with a void in the literal sense, however, as Scone Palace in Perthshire, located further south of Blair Castle, will take over the competition from 2025 forward. You can read more about this transition here and here. The first Scone Palace International will take place August 21-24. Learn more about Scone Palace International here.
