Your stop for everything equestrian
Time flies isn’t it? 4 years ago I was in London for the first time and to be a Steward in the Paralympic Games 2012. First of all I want to thank Chris Porterfield for including me in this show that is the dream of any person and also the Mexican Para-Equestrian Committee for the support to go.
I’m sorry for the quality for some photos but I wanted to show you guys the full picture.
This time I will share my experience at the Tbird’s A Touch of class Dressage and Para-Dressage Competition.
The event was hosted by Thunderbird Show Park. The show included a CDI3*, CPEDI3* and a National Show. The CDI and CPEDI took place at the Thunderbird Ring as the competition area and warm-up and the Pacific Park Ring as lungeing and hand walking. The National classes took place at the George and Dianne Legacy Ring and the Sky Hi Ring. The horses were stabled for the FEI competitions in the International barn and for the national part in the Cupola barn. They also had some shops at the vendor’s row 🙂 This was the 1st edition of the show with over 130 entries, let’s hope this show becomes a yearly tradition.CONTINUE READING
Hello hello….. How have you been? This time I want to share my experience of being a Steward at Hartpury’s Festival of Dressage.
The event was hosted by the Equine division of Hartpury College. It has the Hartpury Arena (main indoor arena) with a little warmup arena, the International Arena (main outdoor arena), a cove arena, 2 indoor schooling arenas, plus lunging arenas, really nice stables and grazing areas. It is a dream come true. And to my joy (not my wallet’s) they also had lots and lots of horsey shops :). This was the 10th anniversary of the show and it included: Premier League, CDI3*, CPEDI3*, Young Dressage Horse Championship and Prix St Georges Young Horse Championship. Over 400 horses took part and 17 nations were represented. Dressage stars like Michael Eilberg, Fiona Bigwood, Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin (with Valegro) attended.CONTINUE READING
