What do we get up to?
Our monthly dressage competitions are held at Forest Gate Farm, Norley. The competitions are currently inside to help with social distancing, the working in is outside.
We award points to our members throughout the season and then a trophy to our overall winners at the AGM. We have additional rules for the club dressage which can be seen here.
As a member you can enter the dressage competitions via Entrymaster or contact Steph Woodland. See below for the tests.
DFRC runs numerous jumping events throughout the club year, both inside and outside and mostly on a surface. We pride ourselves in running an annual ODE at Smallwood each year which attracts around 120 entries and is open to both members and non members, please see keep checking this page for full information. Advance notice of this years date is 5 September 2021.
We also hold a Combined Training competition every year which is a friendly event and a great course to jump, all the details will be updated here, looking likely for May. See the calendar above for the dates.

DFRC holds different social events across the year and always welcomes spectators to any events to support and learn (help too if you can!). We have two key social events, the AGM held at the end of the club year alongside our presentation evening and the DFRC club camp usually held in the summer at Somerford Park. This year Camp is being held on the 4-6 June 2021.
You will find details of the AGM in the newsletter and sent via email to you nearer the time. In 2020 due to Covid we produced a virtual AGM which you can view here.
Camp places fill up very quickly so contact Cathy London for more information and look out for updates in the Newsletter and on this page.
