The 2025 Grand National features I Am Maximus, while the Badminton Trials highlight top British riders amid equine welfare concerns.

The equestrian sports scene in the United Kingdom is buzzing with anticipation as the 2025 Grand National approaches. Scheduled for April 5 at Aintree Racecourse, this prestigious event will see 34 horses, including the defending champion I Am Maximus, who will carry 11st 12lbs. Should I Am Maximus secure victory again, it will mark a historic achievement as the highest-rated winner of the 21st century.

In addition to the Grand National, the 2025 Mars Badminton Horse Trials will showcase elite talent from May 7-11, featuring Britain`s Olympic gold medal-winning riders. This event promises to be a highlight of the equestrian calendar, drawing attention from fans and competitors alike.

On the show jumping front, Great Britain`s team recently finished sixth in the Longines League of Nations held in Ocala, currently placing them seventh in the overall standings. This performance underscores the competitive spirit of British show jumping as they strive for excellence on the international stage.

Amidst these thrilling competitions, the RSPCA has raised alarms about an "Equine Welfare Crisis" in England, urging for immediate action to address the welfare of horses across the country. The combination of exciting events and pressing issues makes for a dynamic landscape in UK equestrian sports.
