Founded in 1993 by international trainer/rider Dane Rawlins and Douglas Bunn, Dressage at Hickstead quickly became the UK's premiere dressage venue, being awarded the European Championship just eight years later.

Not only has Dressage at Hickstead contributed substantially to the promotion of the discipline of dressage throughout Europe, it has also provided our own British riders with badly needed top-class facilities.

Dressage is the gymnastic training of the horse, the basic foundation of every equestrian discipline, and it remains one of the fastest growing sports in the UK.

Horse and rider are required to perform a sequence of precise movements to test both the training and precision of both elements of the partnership. The ease and lightness of the movement is paramount and the resulting display of elegance and grace, power and stamina, means dressage is an incredibly emotive and visually stunning sport for spectators.
