More than 200,000 people descend on the small village of Badminton in Gloucestershire every May.
The Badminton Horse Trials are a must for anyone who has or likes horses, elite sport and shopping.
It is an annual competition in which horse-and-rider pairs go head-to-head in three different disciplines – dressage, cross country, and showjumping.
It is full of thrills and spills and is one of the key events in the equestrian calendar.
