Belgian Dressage Championships are moved

The Belgian Dressage Championships are postponed due to the coronavirus. The organization has not yet announced a new date.

Coronavirus
At the beginning of this year, it was announced that Belgium Dressage Events will take over the organization of the Belgian Dressage Championships. Not only did this move the event to the Azelhof location, it was also decided to have the championships take place earlier in the season. Unfortunately, due to the serious situation regarding the coronavirus, the organization had to choose to postpone the championships. The original date from 28 to 1 June will therefore be canceled. When the championships will take place will be announced later.

In close consultation with the KBRSF and Equestrian Flanders, it was decided not to cancel the Belgian Dressage Championship, but to postpone it to a later date this year. Keep an eye on the website and social media channels for the latest updates.
