We are excited to invite you to join the team at this year's Scone Palace International Horse Trials. 

By volunteering, you will play a crucial role in making this event a world-class experience and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Over the course of the event, we will need volunteers for various roles including crossing points, arena party, course building, collecting rings and more. 

The competition will include CCI1*, CCI2*-L, Pony 2*, CCI3*-L, CCI4*-S & CCI4*-L Scottish Grassroots Festival Championships, and grassroots eventing classes. We will also have some non-eventing classes including Hunters, Highland Pony’s, NPS Scotland and Pony Club Games. 

Volunteer shifts will be full day shifts. If you’re not able to volunteer for a full day we do have a limited number of part day roles. 

Please sign up to the role on the day(s) you are interested in helping with. If you sign up to a general or floating role, we will do our best to assign you to a position based on experience and availability as indicated in the questionnaire you will complete. Not all roles require equestrian experience, but all roles are important, and your help is very much appreciated! 

Whilst we encourage and appreciate our younger volunteers, any volunteers who are under 18 will need to be accompanied by a Parent / guardian who is working the same shift and role as them.

 

Volunteering Dates

Shifts will be available from Tuesday 19th August for set up of the event - Sunday 24th August. 

 

Camping for Volunteers

We have set aside camping pitches for volunteers. Pitches will be available to purchase for those not eligible for free camping. Instructions will be provided on how to book and purchase camping for those eligible.
