The Fenix Red Rover Rosette

The Red Rover Rosette is awarded to BDS members who complete 10 affiliated show drives in a single showing season with the same horse or pony. The rosette is named after the famous Red Rover coach owned , shown and driven with great success by the BDS Founder President, the late Sanders Watney and which is now in the care of and driven by Mark Broadbent of Fenix Carriages, Devon, who also sponsor the award.

To win this award for a special driving achievement you should collect the BDS Drive Rosettes presented at all affiliated shows where a drive is completed. Note the date, name of the show and judge on the back of each rosette. When you have been awarded ten or more rosettes, send them to the BDS Executive Secretary, together with an  application form. Once the show records have been ratified, your rosettes will be returned. Applications must be received by the end of September to qualify.

The Red Rover Rosette will be engraved with your name, the horse or pony's name, mounted on a wooden plaque and presented to you at the BDS A.G.M.
