Not just a member of the Royal Family, Zara is a past World Champion, European Champion and London 2012 Team Silver medallist. She will be bringing two horses to Rockingham Castle, Black Tuxedo and her top horse, London 2012 ride High Kingdom. The Advanced Intermediate is one of the classes where riders can attempt to win a £7,500 hand made British watch, crafted and awarded by Stamford-based Robert Loomes Watches. The lucky winner will be the rider who finishes the cross country closest to the optimum time – and with Robert Loomes the Official Timekeeper there will be no margin for error on the part of the riders. Horse Trials gates open at 9am daily and close at 5pm.
