Dressage

Holt Farm holds regular unaffiliated dressage shows throughout the year, culminating in Champion's Weekend at the end of the Summer season, and a one day Championship Show at the end of the Winter season.

A trophy is awarded to the winner of each class, prize plaques for the 2nd and 3rd placed and rosettes are awarded 1st to 10th place. All competitors placed are eligible for the Championship for that class at the end of the season.

All tests are ridden in an enclosed rubber arena, and warm up is in a large enclosed grass arena. The show atmosphere is always calm and relaxed and so is suitable for the nervous or novice horse or rider.

Entry fees are £9 per class for non-members and £7 per class for members.

Entries are to be received no later than the Wednesday before the show. You may enter by post, text or email, if you have entered by text or email you must post payment to the Show Secretary to arrive before the show.

For times, please call the Thursday before the show between 7-9pm on 01959 562008 / 07968 486381. If you do not call within these times your place may be given to someone on the waiting list.

*Restricted to combinations genuinely performing at this level. The Show Secretary reserves the right to refuse entries for those considered to be above this level so your honesty is appreciated. Please note - we will not refuse entry to riders above this level competing horses whose ability is at this level, or horses above this level competing with a rider whose ability is at this level.

ADVERSE WEATHER - we will not cancel any show for adverse weather, unless there is settled snow. In the case of significantly wet conditions, competitors will be allowed a few minutes to warm up in the arena immediately prior to their test, as the normal warm up area is on grass. There will be no refund of entry fees if competitors do not attend due to bad weather, unless it is settled snow.
