Show Information

 Dressage 4 Mind was established a few years ago with the aim of creating a relaxed and fun competition for all and to raise funds for the amazing charity, Mind. Sponsored by Lester UK Ltd the event has a range of classes from Intro to Elementary, and as of 2025 we have added some fun classes as well. 

This event is great if you want to bring your baby horse to its first competition, you suffer with nerves or maybe you want to step up a level and try it out in a relaxed setting. 

Competition wear is not compulsery and we actually encourage 'matchy matchy' (there is a prize for the best matchy outfit!). Everybody who takes part gets a medal - so everybody goes home with something! We also do special prizes (such as 'best potential' and 'made me smile'), as well as the normal rosettes for 1st to 6th. 

If you have any questions about the event please contact dressage4mind@gmail.com or visit our facebook page. The Prix Caprili tests are available on the facebook page - if you want a copy, please email us.
