Charlotte Dujardin and Carl Hester have been confirmed as the first keynote speakers at 2015 British Dressage National Convention held at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire over 21 – 22 November 2015. The convention this year will feature the ‘Best of British’?
The British Dressage National Convention is two days of world class learning from the country's home grown talent. The event is simply a must-attend for any dressage enthusiast; trainers, judges, riders, officials, fans, you’re all invited to celebrate with us.
The first two names confirmed are none other than Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin. The dynamic duo will focus on very different ends of the training spectrum with Carl concentrating on grand prix while Charlotte will share her methods on producing young horses, with the help of Mount St John Stud. It’s the perfect opportunity to gain an insight into the approaches from two of the world’s biggest names.
Widely acknowledged as the leading dressage learning showcase, the National Convention has traditionally featured a single, high profile presenter but we’re taking a departure from that in 2015 and going for number of presenters in a packed programme which will cover a variety of topics across the levels. There’s so much talent to call on in Britain, so this year, it’ll be an assault on your senses, learning ability and memory bank! The days will be broken down into sessions where some presenters may ride or they may have demo riders to teach as well as question & answers sessions with some room for healthy debate.
British Dressage Training Director Paul Hayler commented; “When I was elected to the training role, revitalising the National Convention was one of my main ambitions. With the BD team, we’ve done exactly that and visitors this year will find a professional showcase with top British talent. While the entertainment level will be raised significantly, the essence of learning, thought-stimulation and questioning our methods will still play a vital part. I’d urge everyone with an interest in the sport to attend as it promises to be one of the greatest dressage gatherings ever witnessed. I’m very much looking forward to sharing our plans over the coming months!”
