The popular One-Day Event series of competitions, hosted by Midlands Carriagedriving at Anslow, Derbyshire, is about to begin its 2026 season. Starting on 10th May and running on 21st June, 12th July, 9th August and 27th September (all Sundays) there is something for everyone. A bonus this year is that competitors wishing to move on to national competitions can now have their Competence Card signed on completion of an event at Anslow.
There is a range of classes including VSE and SE as well as Gateway, Novice and Open and from Singles to Combinations. Competitors can select a dressage test of their choice from the BC current tests or the ICD Precision & Paces test. The cones course and obstacles are situated within easy reach of the dressage arena; the water crossing between obstacles 3 and 4 has been much improved over the winter by organiser Paul Hart. Schedule details are available on the club’s website www.midlandscarriagedriving.co.uk/events.
Entries can be made online, as above, or by email to entriesmc@gmail.com, closing date for the first ODE event is Wednesday 6th May.
Anslow village is readily accessible from the A38 (Burton-on-Trent) between the A511 and B5017; postcode DE13 9QL.
