Dressage to Music

The Dressage to Music Championships offers a range of classes for both senior and junior members allowing competitors to ride from prelim up to our unique ‘pick your own’ class, which caters for those wishing to compete at medium and advanced medium level. The Dressage to Music Championships is a great opportunity to be creative and have fun in the dressage arena. We also have pairs classes at this championship. 2018 see's some direct entry classes added onto this championship, meaning they are non qualifying competitions - for details on these classes and eligibility requirements, please refer to the current BRC Handbook. 

 
Quadrille

If you enjoy competing in dressage, why not try quadrille? The display is set to music with a team of four riders wearing themed costumes. The display should demonstrate horsemanship, but doesn’t necessarily have to be based on dressage movements. The selection trial is held on 1 October at the British Riding Clubs Dressage to Music Championships. Four teams are selected to go through to the championships.

Hickstead
 

This team jumping event is held at the fabulously renowned Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead. The teams are made up of three horses and riders; one Novice combination jumping 85cm, one Intermediate combination jumping 95cm and one Open combination jumping 1.05m. Each combination rides one round against the clock. The team with the fewest combined faults and fastest combined time wins. This is a truly memorable event, not only anabeling our members to compete at this sacred ground, but creating a great camp atmosphere where friends are made for forever. The shopping is also beyond compare!
 

Bleinham Horse Trials
 

The 90cm and 100cm Riding Club and Pony Club Team Eventer Challenges are kindly sponsored by Dodson & Horrell. These very popular events are grass-arena-based competitions, held in the Bladon and Hensington Arenas, over a testing course of show jumps and cross-country fences with an optimum time for completion. The team with the lowest cumulative score are the winners, and there is also an award for the most stylish rider. KRC are proud to boast true camaraderie and team spirit whenever we have been a part of this prestigious event.
