On Monday 16th August, Bicton Arena opened their gates to the media for a sneak peak of whats to come from the first UK five-star of 2021.
Course Designer Caption Mark Phillips, joined by BE CEO Helen West and Bicton Arena Manager Andrew Fell, walked us through the course set in the Clinton Devon Estates to give us a glimpse at what to expect in September. Mark broke down each of the fences out on course, the tricky combinations and the impact of tough terrain along with some thoughts on what to expect from horse and rider combinations next month.
