Our British Dressage Petplan Winter Area Festival is well underway, with day 2 already in full swing
A huge thank you to all our judges, stewards, and volunteers who help get the show on the road – it goes without saying, we couldn’t do it without you.
Solihull Riding Club is looking especially beautiful (even with the rain!), with floral decorations by Jane Richmond. The arenas, surfaces, and site are truly championship-worthy, thanks to our wonderful grounds team, who have gone above and beyond this year to make it a truly special event for our competitors.
We also want to recognise and thank some of our fantastic sponsors who are helping us to bring this year’s Area Festival to life
🪩Equi-Jewel by Emily is here with a gorgeous trade stand with all things sparkly and bespoke. They are also generously supplying some lovely prizes for our winners.
🪩Classic Dressage have very kindly supplied us with tote bags and vouchers to make winning feel even more special!
🪩Topsepc have also supplied prizes for this event and will be on-site Friday and Saturday with their weighbridge and advice!
🪩Our lovely sponsor, Aspen Cooling Ltd have provided flasks for prizes, keeping you toasty in this weather – dreaming of summer!
🪩Listers Land Rover have supplied the judges in the Agria Outdoor Arena with cars so they can judge in style and comfort from a stunning Range Rover Sport SE at B, Defender Trophy C and Defender Octa at H. We are rather jealous in the office! Listers will also be onsite with a trade stand this week for anyone wanting to view!
Listers Land Rover are also very generously suppling the highest percentage across the week with a weekend in a Defender – could it be you?
