In need of a dressage hit this week? Then look no further than the Addington Manor High Profile Show, 16-18 January 2015. At this centrally-located Buckinghamshire venue, the first of the UK’s big meetings gets underway and as is customary, it has once again attracted a large, high class entry.
This show is the first big fixture since Christmas, and is a great opportunity to see both established partners and new pairings on the cusp of their 2015 campaigns.
Classes range from Medium to Grand Prix with plenty on offer for visitors as there are two evening performances, and a feast of freestyle classes on Sunday. Friday night, starting at 7pm, will feature 19 combinations in the Intermediate II, including the likes of young riders Pippa Hutton, Ryan Todd and Olivia Oakeley who are successfully making the transition to senior competition.
Saturday night meanwhile features a huge 30-strong Grand Prix, starting at 5.30pm. The line-up includes partnerships new to the level - Melissa Chapman with DHI Work of Art, Jo Dykes with Zaino M and Samantha Thurman-Baker with San Piko. Plus youth is prominent too with a host of younger riders taking to the floor – Alex Hardwick, Alice Oppenheimer, Emily Cousins and Ryan Todd - to name a few.
Entry to the show is free for all three days.
The cafeteria will be open for the whole show and the restaurant available on Friday and Saturday night – two course fork supper - £12 per person.
Addington will be live streaming all the indoor classes. To view click here
