RDA: Hartpury bound!
We'll shortly be heading to the RDA National Championships 2017 at Hartpury to award gold, silver and bronze medals to our RDA Online Dressage Champions!
Between August 2016 and March 2017 riders from across country competed monthly to qualify for the fourth RDA Online Dressage Championships. The Online Championship Show took place during May with a record number of riders taking part at Intro and Grades 1, 2, 3 and 4.
We were particularly proud and delighted to welcome back Para and FEI 5* judge, Sarah Leitch to judge the Online Championship tests.
