National Convention 2019: demo rider competition launched!

With the hosts in place for this year’s National Convention in partnership with Harrison Clark Rickerbys, British Dressage is excited to launch our search for a very special combination to join us as a demo rider at Addington Equestrian on 23 – 24 November!

The lucky winner will take part in a session with one of our three hosts, Daniel Bachmann Andersen, Chris Bartle and Michael Eilberg, and hone their skills in a once in a lifetime opportunity to take part in the most prestigious training event in the BD calendar.

With this year’s focus on using a varied workout routine and exercises to develop your performance, no matter your level, horse type or competition goals, we want our demo riders to represent YOU, the BD member and competitor!

To be considered for selection, we’re searching for the following:

- Riders to be 16 years old and over
- Consistently achieving 68% or above at the level you are competing at
- Exposure to a big competition environment is favourable, such as a Petplan Equine Area Festival or Quest Championship.

All you need to do to enter is tell us a brief description of why you’d love to be a demo rider at the National Convention, upload a photo of you and your horse, and fill out a few simple questions to tell us more about your competition level and section. The closing date for entries is Sunday 15 September 2019!

Entries are now closed.
