Brought to you by Original Equestrian and sponsored by Cooke Coachbuilders – we are proud to present the return of the CARNIVAL OF DRESSAGE! A fabulous, fun Dressage Event, combining a three-day stay away Unaffiliated Dressage Championships with a pre-competition training camp, activities, demos and trade stands. All at the stunning facilities of Aintree International EC, Liverpool. To get the full effect come and join us for camp on 22nd-24th July for training with Grand Prix Riders Mat Burnett and Charlotte Smithwhite, they are all geared up to help you improve your test riding. It’s the perfect way to get your horse used to the arenas and concentrate on scoring those extra all-important marks, whilst having fun with friends, or making new friends. To book camp email katie@equineshoot.com  On Thursday night before the competition begins, we will have an amazing Gala Evening Demo details TBC . If you are already planning to stable with us on Friday and Saturday night, then you can add an extra night of stabling on the Thursday for just a little extra. It will be fun, informative and interactive. Campers get a free ticket, tickets will be available to everyone else (whether you are competing or not – so bring all your friends).

Then it’s onto the Unaffiliated Championships 25-27th July, ride a test on two of the days and your combined scores will decide the placings. We have classes from Intro- Advanced Medium and sections for Junior and Senior riders, plus the return of our amazing Artistic Dressage Gala Evening Class which had us all up and dancing last year. All the tests are in the main arena and we are bringing back the very popular team competition as well! Also for the CARNIVAL we are in the process of arranging trade stands, demos and activities to keep you entertained. We do take our dressage seriously, but we want to have serious fun whilst doing it! Why not join us for this great event, making dressage fun again!

Entries for Camp open soon, entries for the Championships open Spring 2025.
