This year’s Dressage at Hickstead international meeting (23 – 26 July) promises top names and talent in the only UK leg of the Exquis World Dressage Masters CDI5* series. Anky Van Grunsen, Hans Peter Minderhoud and Edward Gal on the impressive Totilas from the Netherlands are among the leading riders already confirmed for the show, part of a global series that puts UK dressage on the map alongside the likes of Palm Beach, Florida; Munich; Salzburg and Cannes and carries €100,000 prize-money.

New this year is the Kampmann Future International Trophy classes, a test series which offers young grand prix horses, aged eight – 10, a platform to enter the global international scene. The gala evening of Saturday 25 July will feature a taster from the ‘Magic of the Horse’ produced by Tanya Larrigan and the exciting Hickstead Showjumping and Eventing Dressage Challenge.” Spectators can also look forward to a covered grandstand.

Advanced ticket price includes a dressage grandstand seat, as well as entry to the Royal International Show. Special 10% discount plus one free parking pass for British Dressage Members on the Grandstand Tickets. Tickets are going fast so book soon. Contact 01444 882150 (office hours).
