The CDI will welcome Charlotte Dujardin and Gareth Hughes among other top names, while others seek qualification and selection for the dressage World Championships in August. In paras, watch out for 2021 Paralympic medallists Sophie Wells, Lee Pearson, Natasha Baker and Georgia Wilson, all of whom will be in action, while the Premier League will feature competitive direct qualifiers for the National Dressage Championships, including young horse classes.

There is also a packed schedule of in-hand classes, which concludes in a HOYS supreme in-hand qualifier.
