Dane Rawlins director of the championships said “All of the team are thrilled that His Royal Highness has agreed to act as Patron for this event. His support is a terrific boost for the sport of Dressage in Great Britain and great motivation for the efforts of all those who are contributing so much to make these Championships a world class sporting occasion. This event is of particular importance as it will be the last major dressage competition before the Athens Olympics.
