Top riders plan dressage extravaganza

Top dressage riders and judges are planning a June "Dressage Extravaganza" to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity, H&C has learned. The idea stemmed from a British Dressage forum discussion in January.

"Everyone was moaning about how difficult things were [because of the snow]," recalls Dressage Extravaganza show director and BD judge Gloria Leverett. "So I suggested we stop complaining and do something for other people for a change. The response was amazing and it grew from there."

Carl Hester has agreed to be patron of the event on 26-27 June at Hartpury College, which gave the venue free of charge. "It's a chance for people to do something," said Carl. "So come and support us. It should be a great show."

Classes run from preliminary to Grand Prix and Saturday night will host a gala featuring top riders such as Carl Hester and GB Chef d'Equipe Richard Davison. There will be a Grand Prix Challenge, compered by David Pincus and featuring an X Factor-style judging panel. "Riders ride against each other and the audience will be asked to join in the judging," explained David.

Tickets for the gala evening will cost £5. To enter and for more details, visit the weblink below.
