Just wondering if anyone on here has done this before?
Do you have to be affiliated BD for horse/rider combo to be eligible?

I did a qualifier last year on my ex racehorse! (the one in the white bangaes in my sig) We almost bloomin qualified!! Came 3rd 
Would of had to of schooled her EVERY day up to the final if we had come 2nd and qualified!!
I wasnt BD registered, neither was Lilly. It was full of REALLY posh, huge moving, expensive looking proper dressage horses though. I really felt like me and my cheapy racehorse didnt fit in (not even close to fitting in!!) I almost didnt actually ride her as was to scared and embarrased!! I nearly fell over when I found out she had beaten all but 2 of them!! She might be a dressage horse after all!! The judge came and found me after too and said how lovely she thought she was
and she gave me some tips on getting her going better.
A really good day out esp for a baby.

No need to be BD registered 
I've done the PC class when the Young Dressage class is running and some of the horses were VERY impressive!

It's not run by BD so you don't have to be registered.
You do get alot of pros competing on very nice horses as there is very good prize money at stake!
