Blair Castle and Atholl Estates have long been associated with equestrian sport, having run three‑day‑eventing since 1989. It hosted the FEI European Junior Championships in 1996, and the FEI European Young Rider Eventing Championships in both 2007 and 2011. Most recently, the event has hosted the senior FEI European Eventing Championship in 2015.
Land Rover has long been synonymous with equestrian sport and we are thrilled to welcome them to Blair Castle for the first time this year. It is great to have the support of a brand who has such history and understanding of the sport. This is a partnership that we are very excited about.
