Why it matters to me

Bramble and I have worked so hard this year — a final would prove it to ourselves.

Winter Dressage Championships — Prelim

Final: 2 Apr 2027 · Hartpury Arena, Gloucestershire

What counts: Two Prelim scores of 62% or above at affiliated winter qualifiers, with the same horse-and-rider combination.
Still needed: One more qualifying score of 62%+ (61.8% at Little Manor is recorded but just short).

Results recorded so far: 61.8% at Little Manor (24 Oct). Pending official confirmation.
