How to follow the 2023 National Dressage Championships – your essential guide

Gemma Redrup Gemma Redrup

    • If you’re wondering how to follow all the action at the LeMieux National Dressage Championships this year, you’ve come to right place.

    The National Dressage Championships are taking place on 14-17 September at Somerford Park in Cheshire. There will be championship classes from prelim to grand prix, plus para dressage and young horse finals, with top riders in action including Charlotte Dujardin. There will also be several masterclasses too with Emma Blundell and Amy Woodhead exploring the relationship between breeder and rider on Thursday and Friday, four-time Olympian Richard Davison will be sharing his knowledge on Saturday and grand prix rider and former showing superstar Louise Bell takes a closer look at training young horses on Sunday.

    Although there will be no full live-stream of the National Dressage Championships in 2023, H&C+ will be providing live coverage of the grand prix freestyle gold and intermediate 1 freestyle gold championships on 16-17 September. If you want to watch the rest of the action as it happens, you will need to attend the event in person. All tickets must be ordered online and will be issued as e-tickets (you can pay for these on the gate, but they must be booked beforehand).

    However, if you’re unable to attend the championships in person, you can still follow the action. The immensely popular Radio Nationals is back for 2023, with Kim Ratcliffe and John Bowen bringing you all the dressage commentary and banter you could need throughout the four days of the championships. You can listen to Radio Nationals via the British Dressage website on a mobile phone, and Kim and John will be on air from the main LeMieux arena early on Thursday 14 September.

    In addition, H&H is sending reporters to the 2023 show, and will be keeping you fully up to date, with stories and features published on our website throughout every day, bringing you all the action as it happens. You can also read full reports and analysis of the championships in the 21 September issue of the magazine.
