British Dressage Report Written by Daisy Jackson T his month talks on the forums have been discussing the future changes proposed by British Dressage which will involve all competitors. Along with the growing popularity of BD also comes improvements and progression. As the committee gained an approximate 600 pages of comments and feedback from fellow BD members, this has led to the Rules and Fixtures Committee to advance the structure of competition. It is to be cleared by other parties and internal stakeholders before the final release is made; however, this is due to be announced and publicised shortly. Correspondingly, BD has also ensured, when releasing the new information all members and followers of BD can be clued up on all the ins and outs of the new and improved structure. In order to reach out to all members across the country British Dressage have organised a roadshow, visiting a variety of venues and competitions to provide the most accessibility and extensive release. The committee will be joining a diverse range of competitions from your local venues to Regional Championships and the roadshow will end at the Winter Championships at Hartpury College.
