National Schools Equestrian Association

Another new sponsorship partnership in 2011 was with the NSEA and their County Dressage Series, which we are delighted to be continuing with into 2012. Having now been established for twenty years the NSEA work hard to promote equestrian sports in both State and Independent schools across Great Britain, promoting riding at all levels. Working together with the BHS, many schools now include riding as an option for both GSCE and A level P.E.

 

The National Dressage Series was introduced in 2010 and over 4,500 children took part in the series, which offers classes from Preliminary level through to Elementary. There are both team and individual classes and in 2011around forty counties took part in the series, hosting Inter School competitions. These competitions then act as qualifiers for the annual NSEA Championships, which are held at Addington in October.

 

The Championships also include the county show jumping finals and jumping and style classes and is the highlight in the schools calendar.
