After being called off earlier in the year, organisers of the iconic Nunney Horse Trials have confirmed the event has now been cancelled.
It was called off back in June 'with deep regret' from the organisers at Southfield House in Frome after a lack of entries and a tight budget making it 'not financially viable'.
In a statement back then, organisers said: "We understand the disappointment this will cause to all involved, especially the competitors, supporters and visitors who had planned to attend. We are immensely grateful for your continued support and understanding.
"Refunds will be processed in due course. Further information will be shared on our website and social media channels.
"We sincerely thank everyone who has contributed to the planning of this year’s event."
In a final announcement yesterday, organisers said it was with 'further regret and sadness' that the Nunney International Horse Trials have now permanently been taken down from the Eventing calendar.
They say how the fixture date is too crowded and our national and international entries were way below expectations this year.
In a statement, bosses Teresa Dufosee, Bridget Parker and the wider committee added: "Nunney has meant so much and will be greatly missed by not only Competitors of all levels, but also to our wonderful local community who supported us year after year.
"We are immensely grateful to our loyal team of volunteers, many of whom have been with us since the very beginning. Their dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm have made the event such fun.
"Our grateful thanks to all our sponsors, our Main sponsors, fence sponsors and all who have generously supported us, without whom we would never get off the ground.
"And finally, our deepest thanks go to our exceptional host, Mrs Angela Yeoman and her team. Her generosity over the years has been extraordinary — not just to Nunney International, but to many other equestrian events. While the International Horse Trials may be drawing to a close, Southfield House remains a vibrant venue, with Pony Club camps and other events continuing the legacy."
