2023 Area Dressage Report

2023 Area Dressage Report

Area Dressage – 21 May 2023 – Hickstead 

One Area competition for each of the main disciplines takes place across the region each summer. Top placings result in qualification to the prestigious national Pony Club Championships in August or the Grassroot Regional Championships in September. We are very proud of all our members who achieve a level of riding sufficient to enter Area and delighted for the lucky, talented few who qualify to attend Championships, definitely a PC career highlight for members and parents!

Wow!!! What can I say – the Area dressage riders were just FABULOUS today!!!

In face of traffic adversity 😂 our wonderful riders entered in at A and gave it there best shot! 💪

🤩 Our Grassroots Orange Team achieved team 2nd place!!! 🥈🎉

🥳 With both Brooke and Lily winning their sections!!! 🎉🏆

👏 A huge well done also goes to: Sophia, Jess P, Poppy H, Alice DT, Imogen – who all achieved top ten placings!! 🎉🌟

😇And of course none of this would be possible without all the team members putting in lots of effort – so I’d like to give a special thank you and big well done to: Meg, Sophie, Olivia, Carys and Mattie – you all rode beautifully and did ESPC proud 💖

🌟I’d also like to give a little mention to Daisy and Emily who both wanted to take part in today but whose horses were unable to – and so instead they helped out 👏

😃 Well done girls, volunteering and helping is something to be very proud of and keeps pony club going 🐴👩‍🦰🦄👦🏻🥰

Please share your photos – you all looked so smart – but for now here’s some that made me smile!

Great job team ESPC!! 💚🧡🤩
