Our 2023-24 winter series is kindly sponsored by Minster Equine Veterinary Practice

This event is our championship prize giving day therefore for this event we wont be asking you to pick a time as we will run the in class order so prize giving can commence at the end of each section, we are also asking that everyone dresses up in competition attire to ensure the day is even more special, however this isn’t compulsory! If you don’t want to stay until the end of your class finishes please bring along an A4 stamp addressed envelope (£3.00 postage on please) so that we can post your sheets & any rosettes on to you.

Please note we have had to limit the options of each test for the rest of this series due to British Dressage changing the tests so we need to run the stock down:

• Intro – choose from B or C
• Prelim – 13, 14, 18
• Novice – 24, 27
• British Eventing – any

**PLEASE NOTE – We can no longer accept any changes to entries once entries have closed and times have been published any changes before entries close please email enquiries@blueberryeventsuk.com & on the competition day you must be ready at your chosen time, anyone who misses their time slot will forfeit their entry**

Our championship series will until April 2024 and is based on points won at each of our dressage competitions and there will be a champion and reserve champion in each category below- you have to be in it to win it!

• Intro (champion &  reserve champion)
• Prelim (champion & reserve champion)
• Novice/ Elementary/Medium/British Eventing (champion & reserve champion)

Please note if you have previously won either the intro or prelim championship before you are welcome to still compete at the same level but any points will not be awarded towards the championship to enable others to have a fair chance of winning, you will still be placed as normal on the day.

If there are sufficient entries the classes will be split in to sections and rosettes to 6th place – we also include an Intro only section if sufficient entries (for those only competing at intro level and not riding a prelim or higher at the same event to make it fair for the beginners/lower level competitors)

Loyalty cards are back, after 10 entries your card will be full meaning you receive two free entries! Ensure you bring your loyalty cards to the events so we can stamp them for you.
