BD Para-Equestrian Dressage Talent Spotting
Shaggy ponies are welcome, as the judges look at your riding skills, not your horse. You can share a horse or pony with someone else or you may be able to hire one. After riding your test, the judge will give you a 20min training session to assess your knowledge and ability.
The 2008 Para-Equestrian Dressage Talent Spotting will take place at the Vale View Equestrian Centre, Melton Mowbray, Leics, on 23-24 February. There will be three classes based on age groups: 10-15, 16-25 and more than 26. Entry costs £20.
For more info and entry forms, which will be available from November, contact Sarah Murphy at British Dressage, NAC, Stoneleigh Park, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, CV8 2RJ, by sending in an A4 stamped addressed envelope or by emailing sarahmurphy@britishdressage.co.uk
