DRESSAGE ANNOUNCEMENT

** UPDATE**

All entries for January's competition have now been cancelled and funds have been credited back to your account. If you wish to book on to the next one on the 9th Feb, please do this by booking through the app using your credit 🙂 PLEASE NOTE ENTRIES WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY BE TRANSFERRED TO FEBRUARY'S ONE - YOU MUST DO THIS YOURSELF THROUGH THE APP.

We are going to CANCEL Dressage this Saturday due to our outdoor arena being frozen. The weather isn’t going to improve by Saturday. This will make it very difficult to warm up (in more ways than one)!!

We will reschedule to Sunday 9 Feb as this is the first date we have available.

The indoor will still be available to hire if you fancy a practice.

We really apologise but if there is one thing we can’t predict is the UK weather!!
