The SEIB/British Riding Clubs Quadrille

Morning Event on Friday 21 December

Quadrille

Now in its 17th year the British Riding Clubs Quadrille competition has become a colourful favourite at Olympia, each year the themes and costumes appear to be more ingenious and standard of riding ever better.

Each of the four teams of four, who have qualified at a selection trial earlier in th year, chooses a theme for their display. Over the years these themes have varied from Robin Hood to Mary Poppins and even the Wizard of Oz.

Costumes, music, dressage movements and riding skills are all employed by the team in a bid to wow the judges.

Marks are awarded for Appearance, Content of Programme, Performance and General Artistic Impression in this spirited contest, which mixes precision riding with the spectacle of pantomime.

For further information on British Riding Clubs and qualifying for the Quadrille of the Year competition please contact:- British Riding Clubs at the BHS on 02476 840 592 www.britishridingclubs.org.uk.
