- **Event Description**: Brought to you by Original Equestrian and sponsored by Cooke Coachbuilders - we are proud to present the return of the CARNIVAL OF DRESSAGE for 2026! A fabulous, fun Dressage Event, combining a three-day stay away Unaffiliated Dressage Championships with a pre-competition training camp, activities, demos and trade stands. All at the stunning facilities of Aintree International EC, Liverpool. 
To get the full effect you can come and join us for camp on 21-23 July for training with Grand Prix Riders Mat Burnett and Charlotte Smithwhite, they are all geared up to help you improve your test riding. It's the perfect way to get your horse used to the arenas and concentrate on scoring those extra all-important marks, whilst having fun with friends, or making new friends. To book camp email katie@equineshoot.com It is not compulsory to do the camp to take part in the competition.

On the evening of Thursday 23rd July before the competition begins, we have a fabulous Dressage Gala Evening Demo. Campers get a free ticket, tickets will be available to the general public (whether you are competing or not - so bring all your friends).  

Then it's onto the Unaffiliated Championships 24-26 July, ride a test each day on two of the days and your combined scores will decide the placings. We have classes from Intro- Advanced Medium, plus a PYO PSG-Grand Prix class and sections for Junior and Senior riders (Intro-Novice), plus the return of our amazing Artistic Dressage Gala Evening Class which had us all up and dancing last year. Also this year sees the return of our Lead Rein Dressage/Equitation Class. It was so popular again last year that this year sees the return of our fabulous Team Competition as well.  Also for the CARNIVAL we are in the process of arranging trade stands, demos and activities to keep you entertained. We do take our dressage seriously, but we want to have serious fun whilst doing it! Why not join us for this great event, making dressage fun again! 

Entries for Camp are open, see our facebook page for more details on how to enter camp, entries for the Championships open in April.
