Run at Intro to Advanced Medium levels, this series is for riders competing via Dressage Anywhere. To qualify directly for the championship, horse and rider combinations must achieve three scores of 60% or above, gained between 1 January 2024 and 31 October 2024.

This series is only open to British Nationals and British Expatriates.
