Welcome to a great five days of dressage competition coming up to round off a pretty cold winter season here in the UK. In just over a month the superb facilities at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire host the Winter Dressage Championships.

There are championship classes from Novice to Intermediate 1 (including freestyle to music) as well as a new para-equestrian championship. And side by side with the best British riders, the top UK top amateurs will compete in the Area Festival Championships.

On the Friday and Saturday there are gala evenings featuring a vaulting display, Carl Hester masterclass and many other great spectacles. Something for everyone!
