Solihull Riding Club were delighted to host the Area 5 Winter Intermediate Dressage Qualifiers. Riders from all over Area 5 came together to try and gain a qualifying sport for the HOWDEN British Riding Clubs Winter dressage championships to be held at Arena UK on 23rd – 25th April 2027
A huge thank you to all the judges and volunteers who helped make this event possible, it goes without saying that we wouldn’t have run without your support!
Well done to everyone who represented their Clubs, we are especially proud of our Solihull Riding Club members and congratulations to all who qualified.
