Charlotte Dujardin, Keynote Presenter at 2023 EMA British Dressage National Convention

2023 British Dressage National Convention

British Dressage has announced a partnership with Equestrian Management Agency to deliver the 25^th anniversary celebration of British Dressage at this year’s National Convention, with Charlotte Dujardin headlining the two-day event.

The popular National Convention has been a flagship event in the British Dressage calendar throughout those 25 years, bringing together some of the sports leading names to deliver a programme of training and education to an enthusiastic and passionate audience. This year’s Convention returns to Addington Equestrian for the first time since 2019 and will take place on the weekend of Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November 2023.

The last decade has seen a transformation for the sport in Great Britain, with a medal winning generation of riders and horses achieving the most success ever witnessed in the history of dressage in the UK. Both companies want this year’s Convention to be a celebration of these achievements, delving into what has led to this success, and how the attendees can use these training methods in training at their stables.

Dujardin Keynote Speaker

Equestrian Management Agency have confirmed that Charlotte Dujardin will be anchoring the 2023 Convention and sharing the training methods that have led her to the top of the podium, holding every world record in the sport in the process. Further talks are taking place with other riders and contributors and they look forward to sharing the details ahead of the ticketing launch at the end of June.

Equestrian Management Agency aims to put the 25^th anniversary of British Dressage at the heart of this year’s Convention, whilst adding some new initiatives to the two-day event. The agency is in talks with several brands about sponsorship with The Kirkland Group already signed in as a key partner, and more to be announced in the coming weeks.
