Para Dressage at its Finest at 2022 CPEDI 3* Waregem

While the number of international para shows has grown over the past decade, the little town of Waregem in Belgium remains the place where the best of the best in para dressage meet each year in spring to contest and earn qualification scores for the upcoming championships.

This year’s jubilee edition from 22nd to 24th April 2022 was blessed with sunny and rather warm weather, although a strong wind ruffled manes and hair. More than 60 riders from an impressive number of 16 nations started in the usual five different grades.

I have been the first time to Waregem and after a rather interesting drive from the South of Germany to the North of Belgium with some unintended crossing of Brussels centre at rush-hour, I arrived early on Wednesday evening in brilliant sunshine. I soon found out that the place has two real advantages: A superb organization with ever friendly and helpful volunteers whose head, show organizer and former international rider Anne d’Ieteren was a true jack of all trades during the show. And there is a really close proximity of warm up and competition rings, office, canteen and accommodation for all officials.
