REPLACEMENT and additional dates, classes and championships – and extended or discounted registration – are among measures being taken by governing bodies as sport gets under way again.

British Dressage (BD), British Eventing (BE) and British Showjumping (BS) are looking at how they can support members and venues, while keeping a viable sport going.

BE is offering a 50% discount on full horse registrations and 10% on membership in 2021, for those who held these during a set period this year. In competition, extra days at Tweseldown and Aston-le-Walls were given the nod after huge demand, while some championships and international classes have been rescheduled (see below).

“We’ve said to our membership that where we can put extra days and dates in, we will look to do so,” BE chief executive Jude Matthews told H&H.
