Calling all Petplan Equine Area Festival competitors!
This year marks Petplan Equine’s 20^th Anniversary of sponsorship of the Area Festivals and to celebrate they have launched an awards programme designed to recognise the successes of those who have been competing in the Area Festivals over the past 20 years.
 
So, if you have competed in a Petplan Equine Area Festival and have a story to share or know someone who has, why not nominate yourself, a friend or a member of the family for one of the five award categories?

The categories are:

• Inspirational star– do you or someone you know have a particularly interesting qualification story? Whether you’ve taught your horse everything he knows or have had to overcome issues with confidence, we’d love to hear your story!
• Surprise star– is there something different or unusual about your horse or dressage partnership? Have you retrained an ex-racehorse or perhaps you’ve had a change of disciplines yourself?
• Support star– have you got a special friend or trainer whose always supported you and you couldn’t be without 
• Progressive star ­– perhaps you and your horse have worked your way up the Area Festival levels?
• Perseverance star– have you or someone you know had to overcome any significant obstacles on your Area Festival journey?

The winner of each category will receive a dressage lesson with Charlie Hutton, two tickets to the NAF Five Star Winter Dressage Championships 2020 Gala Performance and a one-year subscription to Your Horse Magazine!
