Four weeks have now passed since The SPC Holdings Burnham Market International Horse Trials 2010 and the site is now hardly recognisable, with the ground recovering well. Spring has arrived and the grass is growing, it is typical that now some rain would be very much appreciated.
Work on-site at Houghton Hall has began, with the cross country jumps being moved into place and the course builders arriving shortly. With the good weather Houghton Hall will soon be looking spectacular with the blossom on the magnolia trees coming out.

Official Event Charity for 2010 – The Big C.
Houghton Horse Trials are delighted to welcome The Big C as their official event charity for 2010.
They are a Norfolk based charity who do vital work in raising funds for cancer research and equipment. Much of their funds are devoted to important research which is carried out at the University of East Anglia and local hospitals.
Thanks to this funding, local medical staff and research scientists are working on new ways to diagnose and treat a range of cancers. Continuing this essential research into cancer identification and treatment requires constant investments.
To promote the charity through out their 30th year, The Big C have linked up with Subaru and are offering the chance to win a Subaru Impreza 1.5R. Raffle tickets will be on sale through out The Subaru Houghton International Horse Trials from the Subaru and Francis Wain Jewellers stands.
