We are so excited to welcome ThisEsme to Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials on Saturday 21st September! Esme Higgs needs no introduction to most of you, but if you don’t know, she is a content creator in the equestrian industry working with some of your favourite brands and events as well as presenting on TV and for social media, promoting horse welfare and responsible equestrianism and showcasing a country living lifestyle.

“I was lucky enough to have grown up in the beautiful English countryside on a small holding, with 3 donkeys as big grass munching pets. The local riding school used to file past my house on a Saturday morning. I would stand up at the window wishing it was me riding with the big girls and boys. As I was only three, my parents didn’t seem too keen on making this wish come true.

Fast forward a few years and I’m lucky enough to say that I work with horses every day of my life. I try and use my channels to entertain, but also to educate about responsible horse ownership, welfare and increasing access of equestrianism to a wider audience,” says Esme.

If you’d like to see Esme, there will be several fantastic opportunities including a meet and greet in the morning and the afternoon as well as seeing Esme live on our Riders Stage.

The Meet & Greet will take place from 10am and 4pm on Saturday 21st September 2024 in the Secretary’s Tent adjacent to the Hensington Arena. The Meet & Greet’s do not require any additional tickets. All under 12’s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Esme will also be appearing on the Chat Stage at 12.30pm on Saturday.
