BRC qualifier and championship events are a great chance to represent the club, and be supported by fellow EDRC members while you compete. As a club, we try to send both teams and individuals to Area 1 qualifying competitions whenever we can, and support members with a contribution towards entry costs. We also try to raise funds throughout the year to support members costs to attend championships, should they qualify.
Qualifiers cover a range of disciplines, including show jumping, dressage, dressage to music, style jumping, arena eventing and horse trials. Our members have qualified, and attended championships across the country, across a host of disciplines. For 2022, BRC have announced a new Intro Dressage Championship for riders competing at Intro and Prelim levels.
Our Teams Manager, Kat Lewis, is always on the lookout for potential team members – so look out for the emails from Kat! If you are interested and would like to find out more, just ask any of our committee members – we will be happy to chat to you about it. We don’t just send teams to qualifiers, we also send individuals – so if you are perhaps nervous about being in a team, then maybe competing as an individual will suit.
Congratulations! EDRC 90 Horse Trials Team finishes 6th at the BRC Championships 2022!
Congratulations! EDRC Winter Intermediate Dressage Team finishes 6th at the BRC Championships 2022!
