Stressless Dressage Postponed 

Good evening all! After much deliberation and dry weather dancing unfortunately even our best moves haven’t worked in our favour this week! The great British weather sadly has other ideas, after a ground inspection this afternoon we have decided to postpone tomorrow’s Stressless Dressage event.

We are really sorry to disappoint you but yours and your horses safety is our top priority. Afterall we do want this to be stressless and not a stressful 20m skid! We are currently in talks with Swalcliffe about arranging an alternative date so details will be released as soon as possible. If you would like your entry carried over to the new date or to our next stressless event which is at Bletchington.

We will be in touch with all competitors individually to arrange a reschedule or refund as required.

To all competitors - please note, that due to the recent weather, all parking for this event will be on the hard standing area at the bottom of the cross country course by the main buildings. We have quite a few of you to fit in this area so please park carefully and considerately to enable us to fit everyone in. Once you are ready, please ride up to the top field (it will all be signposted!) Please take this into consideration when planning your timings so there is no reason to stress (it is Stressless after all!)
