2017 Eventing "Grand Slam" Series
hosted by The Jockey Club

Named after the title awarded if a team sweeps all three of these prestigious international CCI**** events, this series is based on the real life shows if the same name. Only two riders in real life has ever won all three events in row - we thought it would be fun to give the HARPG community the same chance!
Even if no one achieves the "Grand Slam" title however, as these events are also part of the FEI "Classics" series, the teams with the highest scores at the end of the series will receive additional awards and accolades!
Welcome to the Badminton Horse Trials!
