Wed 04 Apr 2003Blarney Castle event cancelled
EQUESTRIAN SPORT/Blarney event: Blarney Castle, which has hosted a world-class three-day event for the past 10 years, has been taken off the international fixture list, following the death of Sir Richard Colthurst 11 days ago.
The event, which was called off last year after the first day of dressage because of waterlogging, was due to run at the end of May, but Sir Richard's heir Charles Colthurst yesterday issued a statement confirming that the horse trials would not run next month.
