We have been discussing hosting some BD dressage competitions and unaffiliated ones at Long Lover Stables
We are just wondering if this would be of interest.

Well the weather certainly flipped for us for yesterdays The Association for British Working Equitation Regional Competition Long Lover Stables, in the past we’ve been wanting shelter from the rain… wow the sun shone this time and we were hunting out the shady spots🤣 Is this a reflection on Holly Barber not being our judge this time 🤣 ( let’s see what happens in July for our next Regional when Holly’s is back judging for the weekend 🤣).
This time we were delighted to have Shona Hill judging, and Linda Samuel shadow judging. Volunteers yesterday to write for the judges in the morning session was Gilly Fraser Rees and Katie Newport, and in the afternoon our very own regional rep Karen Smith 💖💖💖 Thank you all for helping .. can we book you for July 🤗
We split the day into morning walk/trot & junior and afternoon for novice entries allowing for a quick turn around of each group meaning less hanging around for horses and people and the opportunity to enjoy the rest of there day🙂
We had a mix of regular and new people, who I believe may be hooked and looking to come to our next comp.
Thank you everyone for supporting our comp and the growth of Working Equitation in the ‘North’

NEXT COMP AT LONG LOVER IS 19 JULY-entries are already open on myridingblife or find the link on ABWE website under events/competitions, or on Long Lovers page.

Holly Barber our judge will be doing a clinic here on Saturday 18 July.

Also Holly is holding training weekend at Long Lover 20&21 June, DM Long Lover for details 🤗

Sunday times have been sent via messenger and WhatsApp to all competitors Thurs 21:30ish , if you haven’t received please message me as Sundays times for the regional have been sent to MRL just waiting to get uploaded 🙂

We are splitting the day so Walk/Trot & JNR all 3 phases will be between 9-12.
Novice 3 phases is between 14:00 and 16:30.

Please could I ask that the morning session everyone arrives before 9:00 so as not to disturb the dressage, and same for the afternoon if you could arrive before 14:00.
