***SAD NEWS FROM TEAM BLUEBERRY***

We are sad to to report we have made the very difficult decision to cancel all 2026 blueberry events due to lack of entries, we know times are hard for all of us and rising costs and less entries mean we are continuously running at a loss, so we will take a break and look to potentially come back next year if interest is there.

For the few that had entered April events refunds will be sent by horse events soon

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our lovely competitors and it’s been an honour to watch so many of you grow in confidence and ability with your horses over the years, we will miss seeing you and your lovely horses for a while but if you see us out and about competing our own horses make sure you come say hello!

Also a huge thanks to all the team for their hard work around full time jobs enabling us to run such fantastic events for the last 9 years!

Hopefully this isn’t a goodbye forever just see you after the break

Team blueberry

💜💜💜

🐴 As we head towards our 9th anniversary…

Here’s how Blueberry Events actually started.

Back in 2017, I was in my final year at university as a mature student studying equine business and events management.

I started Blueberry using my student loan and our very first dressage show had just 27 entries.

At the time, there wasn’t anything locally that offered the kind of competitions I wanted to run. Something more relaxed, more friendly, and somewhere people could just come and enjoy their horses without feeling under pressure.

So I created it.

By September that same year, things had grown, we’d moved to Askham Bryan, and Can’t Jump Won’t Jump was introduced alongside the dressage.

And that’s still what Blueberry is about now.

A place where you can come, take your time, build confidence and actually enjoy the experience. Whether you’re new, nervous or just want something a bit more relaxed 💜

🐴 Thinking about entering one of our events but not sure?

You’re not the only one.

A lot of our riders feel exactly the same before their first time. Whether it’s a young horse, a new partnership, or just a bit of nerves.

That’s exactly why we run Blueberry the way we do. Relaxed, friendly and with no pressure.

You can take your time, ride your own ride and just enjoy the experience.

If you’re unsure about anything, feel free to pop us a message, always happy to help 💜

🐴 Why we run Blueberry Events the way we do…

Because we know what it’s like.

We know what it feels like to have a young horse, a green horse, or to be that rider who just wants a nice, positive round without feeling judged.

Not everyone wants big, high-pressure competitions, sometimes you just want to enjoy your horse, build confidence and have a good day out.

That’s exactly why Blueberry exists.

A place where you can turn up, take your time, and feel supported, whether it’s your first time out or you’re just bringing a horse on.

No pressure. No expectations. Just a friendly, relaxed environment where you can enjoy it 💜

A little bit about the people behind Blueberry Events🐴

This is Jess, she’s been part of Blueberry Events for the past 7 years.

Here she is out at Richmond Equestrian Centre riding her rising 7-year-old cob x shire, Fizz, who she’s produced herself since a yearling.

It’s something we’re really passionate about, taking the time to bring horses on, building confidence, and enjoying the process along the way.

That’s exactly the kind of environment we aim to create at Blueberry Events, somewhere supportive, friendly and open to everyone 💜
