Entries for these shows have improved dramatically over the last couple of months after there was concern over carrying on running these shows, thank you for your support. We have been requested by competitors to run some 1.30 Opens at future shows, this we will do on a trial basis to gather what support this additional class attracts…First one at our Valentines day show on February 14^th….a real opportunity to spoil your other half with a day out at Petley !

Petley will run our first 2 day show over the weekend of 20^th/21^st of May. We are hosting a British Novice 2^nd round on the Saturday and a National team qualifier on the Sunday….full schedules will be on the website soon.

DRESSAGE WRITERS

With the onset of our BD Dressage and Combined Training and running 2 arenas concurrently we are trying to get a pool of dressage writers together, whether you compete, have an interest in dressage or just at a loose end we would appreciate your help.

From a competitors perspective, dressage writing can be so educational and a real eye opener as to what the judge can see and what they are looking for during there test and is sure to gain you better marks. As a mark of our appreciation we will issue vouchers up to the value of £25 to be used against arena hire or competitions at Petley, you will also be fed and watered all day !!

All of our Dressage is judged by BD listed judges and normally runs on a Thursday or at a weekend, so if you have a few hours to spare and feel you can help please contact us by email to ian@ibequestrianservices.co.uk

BD Dressage and Unaffiliated Dressage

 We are running many of our Unaffiliated Dressage alongside BD classes this year, although the uptake for BD has not been that inspiring up till now. You will notice that for these competitions you will be allocated a bridle no with your start times, this is compulsory whilst running competitions together. Please could you please bring your bridle numbers along to future competitions and we are hoping that the tack shop that attends most of our shows will have them available to purchase.
