British Dressage is excited to announce the release of a new BD App, providing members with all the information you need at the touch of a button.
Brought to you in partnership with Wild Monkey Factory, this innovation marks the latest stage in our ongoing digitalisation strategy. Over the last ten years British Dressage has made a considerable investment in our technology and IT systems to modernise the sport, from the introduction of BD Online and a redesigned website through to the implementation of online training and learning for officials and members.
Making dressage accessible for all has been a top priority for BD, alongside the delivery of our regular competition and training activity. Investment in IT enables us to provide the best possible service for members and this latest development is set to bring more ease and efficiency to the online element of your dressage journey.
Following the refresh of the BD Online portal last summer, the next phase of evolution was to develop a BD App so members can manage their profile and horse registrations, check results and schedules, and track training activity in a user-friendly way. The BD App aims to bring the best of BD online to your mobile or tablet, so you can navigate our member platform more easily, with all the information you need available at the touch of a button.
The BD App is now available to download for free on Apple and Android devices from the online stores. Login details will be exactly the same as you currently use for BD Online. You’ll be able to find all of the details for you and your horse via a smart home screen and easy navigation panel. There are also quick links to must-have documents, including the BD Members’ Handbook, Tack & Equipment Guide and more.
One of the most exciting features of the BD App is the new notification capability. We’ll now be able to bring you personalised notifications, recognising your success and supporting you on your dressage journey. From celebrating achievements to keeping you informed about the latest news, members will experience a more personalised approach to our communications. Make sure you enable your notifications when downloading the App to make the most of this benefit.
Jason Brautigam, British Dressage CEO commented: “The launch of the BD App represents a significant milestone in our ongoing digital journey. The Board has remained committed to investing in technology over the past decade, ensuring our IT systems support both the day-to-day delivery of the sport and the evolving expectations of our members. This new App will bring BD Online to the palm of your hand, making it easier than ever to manage memberships, access key information and stay connected. It’s an important next step in making dressage more accessible and rewarding for everyone involved.”
For those yet to start their affiliated dressage journey, you will also be able to sign-up to be a member via the BD App. Visit the British Dressage website to find out more about the value and benefits of a BD membership, as well as the range of competition and training opportunities available.
