Governing bodies are acting in response to demand to support riders and venues as sport gets underway. H&H speaks to British Eventing, British Dressage and British Showjumping for their latest news to ensure sport remains viable...
Replacement and additional dates, classes and championships – and extended or discounted registration – are among measures being taken by governing bodies as sport gets under way again.
British Dressage (BD), British Eventing (BE) and British Showjumping (BS) are looking at how they can support members and venues, while keeping a viable sport going.
BE is offering a 50% discount on full horse registrations and 10% on membership in 2021, for those who held these during a set period this year.
