BRITISH DRESSAGE SUMMER REGIONALS
We are delighted to host this event for the first time in 2026.
Competing at the Summer and Winter Regionals is a great goal and achievement for all level of BD competitor. The gateway to the two major BD Championships, combinations line up across the six regions to contest Silver and Gold qualification classes from Prelim to Intermediate I.
All entries and stabling must be booked online.
NOTE – ALL COMPETITORS
Please ensure that you have read all of the rules in the 2026 Members’ Handbook, especially referring to the Regional section.
A combination may not compete at the same level (including music) in both an Area Festival and a Regional in the same season. The Area Festival level must be higher than the Regional if competing in both.
Combinations who have been placed in the top three of the Music / Winters / Nationals at the same level or above may not compete subsequently in the Silver section for that level or below in the current and future years. The above is effective immediately on gaining such a placing. Any pre-existing qualification is to be switched to the Gold section of the Winter / Summer Regionals.
Please be reminded that it is the responsibility of the owners and riders to ensure that combinations are eligible to compete in the classes/sections for which they are entered.

BD Vaccination Rules
11. Equine Influenza Vaccination
To protect the health of the other competing horses and the biosecurity of the venue, a valid passport must accompany the horse to all competitions and be produced on request. Failure to comply is a disciplinary offence and will debar the horse from competing at the event for which it has been entered. A horse will not be permitted to
compete unless it has a current vaccination against equine influenza which complies with the following conditions:
• An initial course of two injections for primary vaccination, not less than 21 days and not more than 92 days apart, are required before being eligible to compete
• A first booster injection must be given between 150 and 215 days after the second injection of primary vaccination
• Subsequent booster injections must be given at regular intervals of not more than 12 months, commencing after the first booster injection
• The most recent booster injection must have been given within six calendar months +21 days prior to the horse competing
• The full course or booster must have been administered at least seven days before arriving at the competition
The vaccination record(s) in the horse’s passport, must be completed, signed and stamped line by line, by an appropriate veterinary surgeon (who is neither the owner nor the rider of the horse). For those competing under FEI rules, please refer to FEI rules.
The responsibility to comply with this rule lies with the competitor, who should consult with their veterinarian.
Horses being found without adequate and up to date vaccinations will not be allowed to compete and will be barred from competing until such a time that they have been given their first and second vaccinations. The registration of any horse found in breach of this rule will be suspended until rectified.
