RDA National Championships 2025
We are aware that high temperatures are forecast at Hartpury this weekend during the RDA National Championships. The welfare of our participants, volunteers, and equines is our top priority, and we remain committed to the highest standards of care – treating all horses with compassion, kindness, and respect at all times.
To support this, RDA UK has issued guidance to help RDA Groups prepare in advance for the competition. Having closely monitored the forecast and consulted with our veterinary and medical advisors, we can confirm the competition will go ahead as planned. However, we are implementing additional adaptations and precautions to support everyone’s comfort and wellbeing. You can access the latest guidance and adaptations below:
