THE Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials finished in style yesterday as riders took part in the final showjumping phase of the annual event.

The four-day spectacle at the Woodstock estate is now in its 25th year. Its chosen charity, Oxford-based SeeSaw, supports bereaved families, is in its 15th year. The event started with the Dressage on Thursday, before riders competed in the Cross Country on Saturday, including Jennifer McFall, who made a splash on High Times.

Showjumping provided the stunning finale to a perfect spectacle that saw thousands of visitors admire the trials in the grounds of the palace.

There was a specially-built fence in tribute to SeeSaw, designed by David Evans, who has previously built courses at the Olympics.

SeeSaw fundraiser Jane Elliott said: “It has been fun and a privilege to work alongside the wonderful Blenheim event team.”
