MARS Badminton Horse Trials, which takes place 7-11 May 2025 in Gloucestershire, has relaunched its popular mobile app for iOS and Android phones and it includes two new features.
Users of Badminton 2.0 will be able to follow their favourite riders and receive timely reminders about their progress through the CCI5* competition, such as a 30-minute warning that their favourite rider is about to start their dressage test.
Badminton app users can also have a go at being an armchair judge for the dressage phase, which takes places on Thursday and Friday.
The new ‘Score My Test’ feature allows users to score a rider’s dressage test while watching live from the main arena or the comfort of their sofa at home while watching Badminton TV.
On cross-country day (Saturday), users will be able to follow riders’ progress around the cross-country live with the app’s ‘Live XC Fence Analysis’ feature.
The Badminton app returns with all of its previous features too, including live scores and access to a wealth of information about the competition, and what to see, plus where to shop.
“The previous app was so popular we wanted to resurrect it and bring more engagement features into the app,” said event director Jane Tuckwell.
“It’s already proving popular, with over a thousand downloads in the first 30 minutes of being posted on our website.
“I really think users will love the new features.”
