The dressage 2017/18 season in Bahrain got off to a great start with horses and riders returning after the long summer break alongside newcomers stepping out in style.
With plans to grow the sport even more in the kingdom, last weekend’s competition was staged at the International Endurance Village thanks to the support of the Bahrain Royal Equestrian & Endurance Federation and backing from sponsors Al Fateh Equestrian Equipment & Feeds.
Bahrain Dressage is planning to run up to 10 competitions at both the village and Twin Palms Riding School in Saar.
In addition to competitions there will be regular clinics to support riders throughout the season and to help promote the sport.
Delighted head judge Oliver Walter said: “It’s great to have dressage going ahead once again and it’s good to see that it has the support from both riders and local businesses to continue its development in Bahrain.”
The next competition will be on held on November 17.
