Elite professional athletes from across the world will be competing across all three days, with the more advanced competition taking place on the Friday and Sunday.
The competition is a highlight in the Riseholme College calendar, with our equine students gaining invaluable experience by being heavily involved. They provide support across the event, from stewarding to dressage writing, and score collecting to course building.
Organiser Catherine Sykes said: “We are delighted to run this prestigious event again in 2025 at such a crucial stage in the season, welcoming the very best riders and providing an incredible opportunity for our students and staff to work alongside such outstanding talent.
“Spectators will be able to witness world-class eventing up close at this must-see early-season competition. It’s also a fantastic chance to see young talent coming through the ranks, who are the future of the sport.”
Among the anticipated entries are local rider Ros Canter, who won a gold medal in Team Eventing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, alongside fellow team members Laura Collett and Tom McEwen.
Ros said: “Lincoln is a very important event for me, as it sits at the start of our competition season.
“The event provides our horses with real variety on the cross-country course and very consistent ground conditions, which helps us in the preparation for our major spring events like Badminton Horse Trials.
“It’s fantastic to have an event like the Riseholme College Lincoln Horse trials on our doorstep, which attracts the best event riders and horses in the country.”
