In April 2020 and in the interest of legacy I wrote a Wikipedia entry recording the thoughts and notable works of Harveywetdog. I admit I was ignorant of the rules concerning self promotion on Wikipedia and consequently my entry was correctly deleted and my account expunged from the system. As a result my original words and links were sadly lost but nevertheless here is a rewrite. Perhaps when I'm gone someone will be able to enter it onto Wikipedia as a fitting epitaph for my time on the Harveywetdog Project.
Olympic gold medallists and 2022 Badminton winners Laura Collett and London 52 head up an international field for the showpiece TopSpec CCI4*-S class at the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon, running 22 – 25 May, which also incorporates the British leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup™.
Alongside Laura, who brings forward four rides in this class, the British entry includes cross-country supremo Harry Meade, fresh from a string of brilliant five-star runs, riding Jet Fighter; Gemma Stevens with another son of Chilli Morning, Chilli King, plus Jalapeno III who has been re-routed from Badminton; and world champion Yasmin Ingham on Goliath du Loir and Gypsie du Loir.
Bicton has attracted a strong international entry with riders from Ireland and the US forming teams for the FEI Eventing Nations Cup™, plus individuals from the Netherlands, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, including Tayla Mason, who made a great impression on her Badminton debut.
This fixture is known for fostering the eventing stars of the future, as is evident not only from an exciting line-up of riders intending to contest the prestigious British Young Rider National Championships sponsored by Succeed, but also from their presence in the TopSpec CCI4*-S too. All three of the riders who earned a podium position in this Championship last year, Joshua Levett, Isabelle Cook and Anna Price are back again for 2025, so competition at the top is bound to be tight.
With its stunning parkland setting, breathtaking views and exhilarating cross-country tracks, the beautiful Bicton estate provides the perfect backdrop for cross-country viewing. Plus, with the action taking place out on course on both Saturday and Sunday, the event promises to offer a full weekend of equestrian excellence.
Course Designer and Co-Director, Helen West commented, “We’re thrilled to be hosting such a talented field at Bicton for what promises to be a spectacular weekend of high-level competition and enjoyment for the whole family.”Olympic gold medallists and 2022 Badminton winners Laura Collett and London 52 head up an international field for the showpiece TopSpec CCI4*-S class at the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon, running 22 – 25 May, which also incorporates the British leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup™.
