British Dressage is pleased to announce that the 2010 Winter Championships, 7-11 April, Hartpury College, is to be sponsored by the respected feed supplement company NAF. The competition will be known as the NAF Five Star Winter Dressage Championships.

More than 800 horse and rider combinations will compete over the five days of national competition, with classes at every level from Preliminary to Intermediate 1. The two flagship competitions will run on the Gala evenings – the Magic Prix St Georges Freestyle Championship on Friday, 9 April, while the Superflex Intermediate 1 Freestyle Championship will be held on Saturday, 10 April. Both evenings will host some of the best dressage riders in the country and will be supported by a full programme of entertainment sure to please every dressage enthusiast. Look out for more details coming soon.

“We are delighted to sponsor the Winter Championships,” said NAF Sponsorship Manager Tracey Lloyd, “a show that is without doubt one of the most prestigious competitions of the British Dressage calendar. We have sponsored the Prix St Georges Freestyle for a number of years. Now, to extend our support to the Intermediate I Freestyle and take on the overall title sponsorship is very exciting. Not only are we pleased to give more support to the increasingly popular discipline of dressage, now we also have the opportunity to say thank you to many more of our loyal supporters.”
