As the new competition season is about to get underway, we’re delighted to unveil a new look for our digital member portal, BD Online, launching on 1 July 2025.
In partnership with Wild Monkey Factory, we’re excited to launch a fresh new format for BD Online, designed to enhance members’ experience by providing a more modern interface, improved functionality and user-friendly navigation.
Whether you’re renewing or upgrading your membership, registering a new horse, or signing up for training, accessing and editing your personal information will be easier across all devices. Your membership portal also includes easy access to your results history and other useful links to make the most of your membership.
Following an extensive period of development by our IT team, BD Online will now provide mobile-friendly viewing, with all pages fully optimised for iPhone and Android. The desktop version is significantly enhanced too, incorporating all of the same changes to make navigation simple and straightforward if you’re using a computer to access your profile.
The new home page will include all of your essential information, including membership and horse registration numbers and renewal dates. You can connect directly to the relevant individual pages for editing your personal details; one click will take you to your profile, where you can update, amend or add records with ease.
There’s also the integration of new, direct links, accessible from the menu bar, which will take you straight to schedules, results, the BD Members’ Handbook and our Tack & Equipment Guide. Our goal was to reduce the amount of steps you need to take to access information you need to make the most of your membership, so we hope these direct links will make finding competitions, results and checking rules a much easier process.
The most exciting part of today’s launch is that these developments are just the beginning of a new technological era for British Dressage. This work will allow us to complete the development of a BD App, with the introduction of push notifications, achievement recognition and accessibility improvements. Our IT team will now turn their attention to this phase of the project, with the goal of unveiling the BD App in the autumn.
Jason Brautigam, British Dressage CEO commented: “The launch of our new-look member portal marks a significant milestone for British Dressage, underlining our commitment to ongoing investment in our IT systems. These latest developments not only deliver a vastly improved user experience through a more intuitive design, but will also provide progression with a membership App, to be launched later this year. As the sport evolves, so must we — and the updated BD Online platform ensures our members benefit from a faster, smarter, and more accessible service, with the flexibility to grow and adapt to future needs.”
