Petplan Area Festivals

Petplan Area Festivals - the biggest British Dressage affiliated series in the UK!

Petplan Equine Area Festivals are the perfect target for many BD riders looking to have a taste of the big time at a Championship–feel event. The series, which was launched in 2000 and is aimed at grassroots riders, has grown from 15 Area Festivals around the country with 555 tests completed in its’ first year to over 6,300 dressage tests ridden in the 2018/19 series. Split into two seasons, summer and winter, the Petplan Equine Area Festivals offer a year round competition pathway with riders qualifying and competing in the Area Festivals, before going on to the Area Festival Championships taking place in April and October each year.

The Petplan Area Festivals celebrates a whole range of horse breeds competing at dressage competitions, and this month we would like to highlight the Native ponies!🐴

If you have a Native pony, who went to an Area Festival this year, strutted down the centre line at the championships, or is currently out getting winter qualification scores, nominate them for October's Horse of the Month competition!
