The razzmatazz of this big show gives the finals of the Dressage Masters a real championship feel with excitement and anticipation for each of the sections. Riders get to compete in the arenas with the nations’ flags flying, grandstands of spectators and mounted prize givings.

The Dressage Masters is usually run as a league and we will see what interest it has for our club members and maybe run it as a league next year.

This is NOT a British Dressage competition and therefore is open to everyone, although it is run by BD rules and you must be a member of Kennaa Riding Club to take part.

Our show will be run as normal with the affiliated and unaffiliated classes. If you would like to try and qualify, enter on a normal KRC or BD entry form and put an H with an extra entry fee of £5.00 per class. .

Classes for Qualification for Hickstead Dressage Masters are as follows. The classes at each level are the same test so competitors who want to qualify for the Masters will be judged on the overall scores.

Prelim Class 6

Novice Class 8 & 9

Elementary Class 11 & 12

Medium Class 14 & 15

Ad Medium Class 17 & 18

If you need clarification on anything, please ring Sue Kirkpatrick 494014

Rosettes and qualifying cards will be awarded for the first two horse and rider combinations at each level.

GOOD LUCK
