Blue Barn Equestrian Centre RE: Affliated Dressage

[black_horse]

i was looking in the BD magazine for this seasons classes and have circled a few for this month...one of them being blue barn...HOWEVER, when i went to have a look on their website, this came up????

does this mean that the BD magazine was not informed of this change??? are they still running the shows??? so confused!

i hope they are...good venue for youngsters! lots of scary objects

and scarier people!

it looks like Bluebarn are running the unaffiliated dressage only now so I guess the answer to your question is no.

BD do get it wrong sometimes - I entered one show which the magazine said you could pick up times for on the venue's website. I didn't bother to phone up for times.. only to find there were no times on the site, and the venue apparently *never* put the times online. Had to do a lot of grovelling to keep my place in the classes

.

Also, not sure how far in advance the BD mags are printed - possibly before Bluebarn made the decision? Perhaps check the BD website for more up to date info.

i know because i checked (if you're talking about the one near ashford)... its no longer running BD events, only unaff

"After five years, we have decided to call it a day.

Blue Barn (Affiliated) Dressage is now Closed

We would like to thank all of the stewards, judges, helpers and competitors that have made
the competitions so successful and wish everyone the best for 2009 and beyond.

Unaffiliated competitions will continue as usual - schedules can now be seen on the Stilebridge Barn website"

We entered a couple of classes at Keysoe in December based on the schedule on the BD website and arrived on the day to find that the classes in the magazine were different so instead of being in 2 novices we were entered in a prelin and a novice! They let us change but had to wait hours - the schedule for their Jan comp is still wrong on the BD site despite me telling both Keysoe and BD so I really don't know what to trust now!
