"Most Friendly Competition Venue"

Awarded to Marlton Dressage 3 years running by Dressage U21's UK

At Marlton Dressage we aim to provide the perfect competition environment for you and your horse. We appreciate the support of our competitiors and treat everyone with respect, as all riders, judges and volunteers are special to us.

We regularly compete in Ireland and abroad and we understand the needs of competitors. Our shows are easy to enter, pay on the day, discounted entry fees, prompt results, 4 competition arenas, spacious warm up space, hard standing car park and family run coffee shop.

All our shows are affiliated to Dressage Ireland and riders have the oppurtunity to qualify for National Finals and Championships in front of UK Listed judges at every show. If you enter two tests on the same day we will endeavour to have them judged by two different judges.

Non-members of Dressage Ireland receive a warm "Welcome to Dressage" in their own class; we also run introduction to dressage classes for riders of all ages.

We believe that the future of dressage in Ireland is in our children and we pride ourselves in our child friendly class: Trotting Terrors, Blazing Saddles, Junior Preliminary and Junior Novice.

In addition to regular shows we run three Festivals during the year, each with a generous prize fund, completemented by stable plaques, rossettes, rugs and trophies. A Leading Rider Trophy is awarded at each Festival and at the Autumn Festival further prize money, rossettes, rugs and trophies are awarded in our leagues which run through out the year. In addition the Training Bursaries are awarded to riders under 18 who regularly attend our shows, kindly sponsored by Crossbow Developments Limited.

"Dressage is the art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops obedience, flexibility, and balance."

At Marlton, we endeavour to create the environment

that allows this art be performed to the highest level possible!
