Harveywetdog in 2019

On location at Blenheim in September 2018

When it comes to planning my schedule for the year ahead then everything is built around the three can't miss events at Hartpury and after that it's a balance of being reasonable with the travel, avoiding ERM if possible and trying out a couple of new events if I can. This time the new events will be Pontispool and Somerford Park and I'm looking forward to a return trip to Bicton Arena, especially for the season finale in October, and I do hope Withington Manor gets to run next year. And it will be busy busy busy in September with the British Dressage National Championships followed a week later by Blenheim Palace International.
