- Answers to our Christmas quiz.
Welcome to the Little Badminton Club, the place to be if you are 12 years and under and want to have lots of fun, learn about all areas of The MARS Badminton Horse Trials, both online and at the event, and get the opportunity to enjoy some V.I.K (very important kids) access to exciting activities and opportunities here at the event in May.
On the run-up to event we will be testing your knowledge with quizzes, challenging your design and drawing skills with very important assignments from MARS Badminton HQ, giving you dates for your diary to get involved on event so you don’t miss out and sharing some event secrets that only you will get to see!
It’s time for you to get creative. Evil Eric the Cross-Country Course Designer needs your help to design a cross-country fence for the 2025 event. Could it be a fence made out of Mars chocolate, could it be a waterfall of m&m’s, or is the jump in Huntsman’s Close made of Pedigree dog treats. You never know what elements Evil Eric might take on and use in his designs so let your imagination run wild.
Design or draw the fence or if you are really feeling creative you could make a model and take a photo and send in. Evil Eric won’t be able to use everyone’s ideas but when you come to the Mars Badminton Horse Trials in May you can go on the Little Badminton Treasure Hunt and see if you can spot any bits you inspired. Get designing and email us your fence drawings by 30th January 2025 – littlebadminton@badminton-horse.co.uk
