In the run up to the British Dressage Nationals in September we will be bringing you some blogs focusing on a variety of the Young Horses taking part in our class finals.
July has been a mad one on so many different levels with visits, new skills and just a overhaul in the way I've looked at my riding and the progression I am now making.
This month surely has been a busy one for us. After a very quiet June it is a shock to the system to have 3 events to report on for this blog (don’t worry I will try my best to keep it short and sweet)!
The second of our Young Horse Semi Final classes took place at Port Royal on the 18th July. The classes again featured a great selection of young and upcoming horses, with riders and owners all hoping to earn themselves a place in the final.
The first of our Young Horse Semi Final classes took place at Hartpury Festival of Dressage from 4th - 8th July. The classes were hotly contested with some top riders exhibiting their stars of the future.
This must be the sunniest summer in Britain to date! Whilst it really is so lovely to have some warm weather, I cannot help but secretly pray for some rain to help soften the ground a little bit.
This weekend is the start of our two semi-finals for the prestigious Shearwater Young Horse Finals.
As with everything in life, people & situations change and so today Dan, Wilson & Hugo have left Biggs Dressage after 18 months.
Dan Bates here letting you know about my June. I have had a great month, I have been working hard on getting Wilson, my horse, to listen to me on my canter transitions, which I have struggled with at times.
If you have owned horses all your life or if you are purchasing your first four legged friend – horse insurance can be a total minefield.
