Stressless Dressage 2024 at Barcheston Grounds Farm

STRESSLESS DRESSAGE TIMES AVAILABLE HERE

Please find above the link to all Stressless Dressage Times! We have done our very best to accomodate requests as fairly as possible.  Please note the following information before Sunday:

  1. Parking: As the parking space is limited, please try to park as carefully and considerately as possible when arriving. 
  2. Warm Up:  We will strictly only allow two people in the warm up area of the arena whilst another is riding their test at the other end.  We will therefore only allow you into the warm up when there are two left to ride their test before yours so please come round to the arena 10 minutes before your test time.  To give people more time, we have been kindly allowed access to a short walk hack around a field which you can go round as many times as you like before your time to go into the main warm up.  This is on a livery yard so please be careful and considerate to the horses grazing nearby!  
  3. Rubbish & Muck - Please make sure that you take your rubbish home with you and any muck to be cleaned up and left tidily on the muck heap.
  4. NO DOGS - as this is home to the Stevens/Harris families, it is also home to their dogs and cats.  Please DO NOT bring your dogs with you.
  5. Refreshments - there will be tea/coffee/cold drinks and cake available for a small donation to the RDA.  So pop some coins in your pockets!   

We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday! If you have any problems, please call or text Lucie on 07772300676. 

Our popular Stressless Dressage League is back for 2024 with our first event at Barcheston Grounds, Shipston-on-Stour! This is a lowkey dress-down event so no need to spend hours before scrubbing, plaiting, and preening! Competition gear is not essential, just a correctly fitting hat, saddle, and bridle is all you need to take part. An ideal atmosphere for young or nervous horses and riders who just want to have a go at dressage without the stress. You will be actively encouraged and supported throughout the event by our team of organisers and wonderful volunteers.

Please Note: As we will be holding the tests and warm-up in the same arena, we will limit numbers in the warm-up to keep things peaceful, calm, and fair to those riding their tests.  As such, please keep this in mind when planning your arrival and there will be no opportunity to lunge.

• All Horses/ponies who are competing must have annual vaccinations.
• If a test caller is required please let one of the CROWN committee know on arrival and we can call the test for you.
• Before starting your test please WALK up to the judge's vehicle and give them your name
• Results will be displayed at the venue and riders can collect their test sheets on the day. Results will also be posted on the CROWN Facebook page and website.
