Welcome to

March 2025
Club dressage March 9th. Entries OPEN February 17th.
From March onwards the second Prelim test will now be a BE90 test. This is due to there being only three 20×40 tests in the new BD test system. The first prelim points rules still apply, and the BE90 test will remain as an Open “prelim” class. All BE tests are available on the British Eventing website https://www.britisheventing.com/downloads?tab=download_section__25
Did you know?
We offer an Arena Walk before the Intro test at our Club dressage. If you are not familiar with the rules regarding this, please see the Dressage rules http://www.dfrc.co.uk/dressage-rules
