Dressage Area Festivals

[Jenni_]

Woo, 7 is a whole mark better than mine I'd take that lol. It doesnt help at all that canter is his weakest pace especially in an arena. But we've gone from scraping 60 unaffiliated prelim to mid 60s affiliated novice since January so I cant grumble (much)

That's definitely something to be proud of. And remember, at every level, something will always be your weakest movement / pace. For us its our walk!

I’ve qualified too, but can’t see that I’ll manage to go. My nearest options are both over three hours away, so even if the weather made travel (by trailer, in Jan/Feb!) safe, the chances of the Covid levels matching at 2 or less are non-existent.
Good luck to all those that can go.
Maybe summer will work out...

Looking at the news I feel its likely a trip out at the end of January is unlikely to happen .
Must try to stay positive.

Yep, thinking I may have jumped the gun entering Solihull for 16 Jan but entries close on 28 Dec.

 

[Goldenstar]

I am going enter tomorrow then who knows .

 

[Roxylola]

We've entered but who knows - I'd rather be out the entry if it cancels than delay and miss out

Saw a post from Jason Brautigan recommending you enter and confirmed that if the show is cancelled due to Covid you will get a full refund.

 

[Goldenstar]

I have entered the one nearest us and a trip down for a look see at the beginning of Jan .
At least I think I did ?

For those that have been to Solihull for AF’s before, do they generally hold it in the indoor or outdoor?

 

[DressageCob]

What's happening with area festivals now? I've lost track thanks to covid restrictions! Are they being rearranged or cancelled altogether?

 

[Roxylola]

Mine was just refunded. I'm only a winter member anyway so I don't know where I'd stand if they run later in the year. And all I can do at the moment is hack and thats subject to weather, not sure we'd be ready even if they happen now

 

[Sprat]

Solihull emailed to say they were postponing if possible, but have offered refunds to anyone who wants it. I’ve decided not to have the refund as would like to keep my entry if it does go ahead, though I would be very surprised if it can in the not too distant future.

I hope they hold regionals even if it later in the year. At this point we've been collecting scores that count since December 2019! The summer season is going to be very very short at this rate.

I've just had an e-mail from Parwood saying they have refunded all entries. I was hoping they'd be able to run towards the end of March, but this looks like they are more pessimistic about their chances.....
