DRESSAGE WRITERS
With the onset of our BD Dressage and Combined Training and running 2 arenas concurrently we are trying to get a pool of dressage writers together, whether you compete, have an interest in dressage or just at a loose end we would appreciate your help.
From a competitors perspective, dressage writing can be so educational and a real eye opener as to what the judge can see and what they are looking for during there test and is sure to gain you better marks. As a mark of our appreciation we will issue vouchers up to the value of £25 to be used against arena hire or competitions at Petley, you will also be fed and watered all day !!
All of our Dressage is judged by BD listed judges and normally runs on a Thursday or at a weekend, so if you have a few hours to spare and feel you can help please contact us by email to ian@ibequestrianservices.co.uk

BD Dressage and Unaffiliated Dressage
We are running many of our Unaffiliated Dressage alongside BD classes this year, although the uptake for BD has not been that inspiring up till now. You will notice that for these competitions you will be allocated a bridle no with your start times, this is compulsory whilst running competitions together. Please could you please bring your bridle numbers along to future competitions and we are hoping that the tack shop that attends most of our shows will have them available to purchase.
Sandy Osbourne will be coaching at Petley Wood on 3rd/6th/7th/8th/9th March 2017
US Grand Prix dressage rider, national judge and trainer Sandy Osborn visits the UK several times a year to train riders at all levels. Sandy has learned from some of the world’s most influential classical trainers and has sat in the hot seat alongside top judge, Stephen Clarke, scribing in two World Cup competitions. She has a unique way of delivering her message that makes dressage both fascinating and fun, and is available for one-to-one lessons for all abilities.
Here is some of the feedback Sandy received after her visit to Sussex last summer: “You treated every horse as an individual and each rider made obvious improvements in their session.” “Fantastic afternoon, would highly recommend a lesson or popping along to the next session. Sandy’s technical explanation and advice is exceptional, a real eye opener and so easy to understand.”
Spectators welcome at £5 per day
