From the moment the gates opened, the atmosphere was incredible, sunshine, horses, shopping, countryside style, and thousands of people all coming together for one of the biggest events in the equestrian calendar.

For us as a small British countryside clothing brand, Badminton has always been special, but 2026 truly exceeded every expectation. We had our biggest and most successful show to date, with record-breaking sales, an unbelievably busy stand, and so many familiar faces returning to shop with us again. Seeing customers wearing Cotswold Fox around the showground was such a proud moment!

The week itself is always a huge effort behind the scenes,  from building the stand and moving stock in, to long days on site and camping alongside the event. However, every second is worth it when we get to meet such an amazing people who support us!

Of course, the sport itself was equally incredible. Badminton Horse Trials once again showcased some of the very best event riders in the world, with thrilling cross-country rounds, brilliant showjumping, and an electric atmosphere throughout the week. Congratulations to Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo on their fantastic win after an unforgettable competition.

We’re so grateful to everyone who visited our stand, supported our small business, and helped make this our best Badminton ever. Roll on 2027!
