There are SIX sand arena’s complete with sand tracks around each, a large sand warmup arena, large parking area, plenty of shade, wash bays, lunging areas, a dedicated spectators area, permanent yards and stables, and camping facilities.

Testimonials
Just a note of thanks again for a wonderful weekend of competition.
I have been competing Stefan at your competition now for a few years and won my first ever rugs at YDC when he won both the Elementary and Medium classes. I also bought my first set of tails from the prize money that I received then so YDC event is very special. Stefan will be 20 this year and as long as he remains willing and able we will continue to come back.
Please pass on my thanks to all your team.

To all the committee and volunteers
Congratulations on yet another wonderful Championship event. And what wonderful weather you dialled up this year.
Your entries are amazing. I see other regional events getting smaller and smaller, but not yours. I really enjoyed the catering this year. I feel they did a wonderful job, producing lovely food and promptly.
Again well done all and thank you for inviting me to judge.

It is a pleasure to be involved in Young Dressage Championships. The weekend was a huge success and professionally run. Everything seemed to run like clockwork and everyone was as usual very friendly and ever helpful.
As a sponsor I was very happy with the exposure received and appreciate your thank you note.
As a competitor I had an awesome time and thoroughly enjoyed myself and achieved some personal goals.. It was great to catch up with friends and fellow competitors alike. This event attracts competitors from far and wide which makes for strong competitions at all levels which is fantastic.
