The RDA National Championships, held this year from 11th–13th July 2025 at Hartpury University and College, is a flagship event in the RDA calendar. It brings together riders from across the country to compete in equestrian disciplines including dressage, showjumping and carriage driving.

LifewithArt was once again delighted to sponsor the RDA National Championships Arts and Crafts Competition. One of our trustees, David Pigott, attended the event and assisted with the judging. David was greatly impressed by the standard of artwork on display, praising the entrants for their creativity and ingenuity. The exceptionally high quality of the submissions made judging both a joy and a challenge!

Our art tutors, Amy and Julie, also had a fantastic time running art workshops on the Saturday as part of the Family Fun Day. Participants enjoyed decorating tote bags and pencil cases with equestrian-themed designs, using stencils and fabric pens to create their own unique pieces.
