BD Presents 2026: Harmonious Progression returns to Hartpury University & College, Gloucestershire on Saturday 21 November.
Tickets are now on sale for BD Presents 2026, which we are delighted to present in partnership with Rothera Bray.
This year’s event will centre around the theme Harmonious Progression, exploring how horses and riders can develop a successful and ethical partnership built on mutual trust and understanding. The day will follow the journey from Novice through to Grand Prix, considering how both horse and rider can progress together at every stage. Through a series of engaging live demonstrations, attendees will gain practical training insights, ideas and exercises to incorporate into their winter training.
We are delighted to welcome an outstanding line-up of presenters, including FEI 5* judge Isobel Wessels, alongside former World Championship team riders Gareth Hughes and Michael Eilberg. Each presenter will lead an individual session, bringing their own expertise and perspective to the day.
Supporting the programme, Dr Brad Hill MRCVS, Clinical Assistant Professor of Equine Clinical Practice at the University of Nottingham Vet School and an equine behavioural specialist, will provide valuable insight into equine behaviour and learning theory, helping attendees better understand how horses learn and respond to training.
