Calling all Trainers in Leinster Region!

While Dressage Ireland does not authorise, approve or recommend individual trainers, it is establishing a list of trainers as a service to members and non-members interested in improving their riding skills. The list aims to provide anyone seeking a trainer with some basic information and contact details to help them to choose the trainer most appropriate to their needs.

At present there are very few trainers from Leinster Region on the list. We would like to encourage all dressage trainers in the region to consider adding their details to the list. To join the list please submit your curriculum vitæ to the Dressage Ireland office:

The Trainer's C.V. form can be found on the Dressage Ireland website on the downloads page.

Do You Have an Unused Leinster Dressage Training Bursary?

In order to encourage riders to get dressage training, it has been the policy of Leinster Dressage to award training bursaries as league and other prizes. Over the years, we've noticed that some of these bursaries have never been used. If you won a training bursary and have never used it, we'd like to encourage you to do so this year. Even if you have lost the paper confirming your win, please get in touch with us to confirm your eligibility and get the information necessary for you to use your bursary. Email Jenny or call her on 087 232 3159.
