Amateur Eventer Dressage Championships sponsored by Gatehouse

The organisers of Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials are delighted to announce the launch of the new Amateur Eventer Dressage Championships which will be held at Blenheim on Thursday 17th and Friday 18th September 2015.

The Championships are for competitors who have competed at affiliated British Eventing competitions around the country at BE80, BE90 and BE100 level in the current and preceding season*.

To qualify, competitors must have achieved a minimum Dressage mark of 70% (or 30 penalties) in the Dressage phase on two occasions at the level of the class they are entering (eg. two 70%+ in BE80 classes). 

Competitors may enter as many classes as they wish provided they 'qualify' for each as specified above. Should we receive excessive entries competitors may be limited to one class/one horse. Ballot conditions are stated in the Championship rules (see document box on the left).

This Championship is aimed at true amateur riders and as such they must not have competed at CIC2* or CCI2* level or above in the current or preceding season. 

*For 2015 this will be from 1st March – 31st July. In subsequent years the qualifying period will run from 1st August to the following 31st July.

Entries will open for the Amateur Dressage Championships on 1st May 2015 - Entry fee £25 per class.

The entry fee will include two tickets for Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials on the day of competition (one for the competitor and one for a supporter/friend).
