Dassett Eventing is running new and exciting initiative for 2026 at Aston-le-Walls, one of the UK’s premier equestrian venues. Dassett Eventing created this league with the aim of encouraging and rewarding riders producing young horses. We hope this can provide extra motivation, recognition and financial support during these crucial early years of training and competition.
