Unaffiliated Dressage

On arrival we will ask to see horse’s passports prior to unloading, every time your horse is on site regardless of if we have seen the passport in the past. We hope our visitors and competitors will understand that the welfare of the horses is of paramount importance and that we have a duty to check that all vaccinations are up to date.

Whatever your dressage experience, we have a competition to help you reach your goals and progress up the levels at a pace that suits you. British Dressage competition structure ensures there’s no pressure to rush up the grades until you prove you’re ready; you’ll be competing in sections against riders of a similar ability and there’s lots of opportunity. We are very flexible with how we run our Unaffiliated events and aim to provide a well organised and friendly service, should you need a caller one can be provided with a donation to our RDA group.
