Winter 20/21 Dressage League Results
The league started in October 2020, with things rather different to comply with the prevailing covid restrictions. Competition days were long with only one arena running, with us having to reluctantly cap entries to get the competition over in daylight. January and February competitions had to be cancelled and the original March final postponed as they all fell within Lockdown #3. So eventually we were delighted to be able to run the rescheduled final date on Sunday 30th May 2021, on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year to date.
The weather was hot, but the competition hotter than that!! 🙂 Due to the restrictions over the winter it was decided only fair to reduce the league qualification criteria. So in the end any combo that came to the final, that also had competed at any one competition in Winter 2020 was eligible for the league.
