The programme for the 2016 British Dressage Principles of Judging seminar has been released and with an exciting new format, it promises to be a must-not-miss event for all at Moulton College, Hampshire on 22 – 23 October 2016.

Hosted by top international riders and trainers Jo Graham, Clive Halsall, Judy Harvey and Gareth Hughes, the seminar will incorporate watching live horses in the arena and classroom sessions of your choice.

Happy riding or marking leg yields but want to learn more on simple or flying changes? Not a problem. Perhaps you want to learn about the collective marks and indulge in a debate or maybe learn about the importance of accuracy by watching demo riders. Whatever your preference, you can choose which session you’d like to attend.

Although an official seminar for British judges from trainees to list 3A, it’s open to all interesting in learning from the best. No matter what your role; a judge, rider, owner, trainer or dressage fan, the seminar has something for everyone.
