DRESSAGE & BAILEYS
» INVOLVED IN DRESSAGE
From the top of the company down, Baileys are very much hands-on horse people with a passion for what they do and a very real understanding of the demands of the different disciplines, including dressage. Riders at all levels are encouraged to take advantage of the practical, knowledgeable, no obligation advice offered by their team of nutritionists in fine tuning horses diets for optimum performance.
» BAILEYS-SPONSORED CHAMPIONSHIP
Baileys are proud sponsors of the British Dressage Novice Freestyle Championship.
Novice freestyle to music was originally the brainchild of Jenny Loriston-Clarke, whose Catherston Stud first hosted and sponsored the series, and was responsible for encouraging numerous novice riders to take part. Its popularity has grown enormously over recent years, with the number of qualifying competitions growing from 12 to around 30 throughout the country from May to December. The top three riders from each qualifier are eligible to compete at Regional Semi finals, with the prize winners there competing in the final at the Winter Championships at Hartpury. 2008 saw the Championship divided into Restricted and Open finals for the first time, giving more riders a chance to win a national title and the great prizes on offer.
