Winter Dressage Roundup

Last Saturday concluded the Winger League Dressage season, which also incorporated the Spring Festival Championship qualifier in November. We are one of the smallest branches in the area and it has been fantastic to see so many of our members compete over the winter and have success at individual competitions.

Thank you to all our dressage riders over the season, these have been: Alfie, Bella M, Nuala, Matilda, Lewis, Poppy, Heidi, Shula, Roisin, Jemima, Sofia G, Brogan, Sophia L and Charlotte B.

Congratulations to Brogan and Charlotte who, in November, both qualified for the Spring Festival Championships which were held at Addington in March.  Unfortunately, Brogan was not able to make the final. However, Charlotte and Paris made the trip and placed 3rd in the Open Freestyle to Music and 6th in the Open Dressage class from 37 entrants!

Then yesterday the final results were published for the Winter League Dressage so we are delighted to share the league success of our members now.
