A Dressage NZ Premier League event and attracting entrants from across the South Island, the Canterbury Championships is recognised as a highlight of the dressage calendar.

For the most recent event, the Dressage Canterbury Group welcomed Carnmore Hotels on board as Gold Sponsor.

"As a proud New Zealand hotel group, we have seized the opportunity to cultivate a brand that embodies our core principles. Each Carnmore hotel is an integral part of its locality, not only in serving guests but also in contributing positively to the community. We pride ourselves on sourcing local products and services and giving back to the communities that support us. For the French family we also have a very strong interest and involvement in the world of Equestrian Sports and in particular Dressage. Cheryl and Amelia have been regular competitors and supporters in Dressage over the years and we know all too well the tireless efforts that are made by so many dedicated and passionate supporters of this amazing sport. That is why we took the opportunity to get involved in the sponsorship of the Canterbury Dressage Championship this year in a gesture of giving something back to the sport we love so dearly." (David French, Managing Director, Carnmore Hotels)
