National dressage championships
The 2024 LeMieux National Dressage Championships are taking place at Somerford Park Farm on 12-15 September – the fourth time the championships have been held at the Cheshire venue. The event attracts the best British dressage riders across all the levels with championship classes from prelim up to grand prix, as well as para dressage championships and young horse finals for four-, five- and six-year-olds.
The National Dressage Championships will include masterclasses on each of the four days. Visitors can also enjoy letting loose their credit card with their favourite ‘must-haves’ from the busy shopping village.
Horse & Hound will be covering the 2024 show, keeping you fully up to date, with stories and features published on our website throughout every day, bringing you all the action as it happens. You can also read full reports and analysis of the championships in the magazine.
