Christmas in July

After our June weekend of dressage activities was cancelled due to rain, we had a club Christmas in July day on Sunday 14th July. at Cobargo Showground.

Apart from great food, fun & frolic along we had some serious protocols with Pip (Romani Classical Equitation).

Saturday 20 April was a successful Arena Familiarisation opportunity, particularly for young horses and those wanting experience in the arena. Jenny Carroll, our competition official steward, was there for horse and human bodywork.

Sunday’s competition was a great day with blue skies. It was good to see some new combinations and rekindle friendships with our regulars. Here’s Sarah Keevers on Nawarrah Park Dafydd winning the Preliminary 1.1 and Sue Ollington competing for the first time on her three year old mare, Anushka.

There are more photos in the Gallery.

Congratulations to the winners of the 4CC Challenge Prep, Preliminary, Novice, Elementary and Medium Champions and Reserve Champions.

A big ‘thank you’ to Dressage NSW Inc and Equestrian NSW for their ongoing sponsorship and to Skye Park Rugs for the beautiful saddle covers and bridle bags.

The second round of inaugural South East NSW 4 Club Dressage Challenge will be held at the FSCDA 21 April 2019 Dressage Competition.

It is a competition for all members of Bemboka Show Society, Eurobodalla Dressage Association, Far South Coast Dressage Association and Monaro Equestrian Association.

The aim of the challenge is to encourage riders to travel to the other three Clubs increasing competition and providing opportunities to met with other dressage enthusiasts.

It is also hoped to facilitate the mentoring of local judges with higher level judges traveling to officiate at the designated events.

Points will be allocated for placings at each level with an award and prizes at the conclusion of the year to the highest aggregate scorer at each level. The Challenge tests will be the Preparatory D and the Preliminary to Medium B’s.

The first round of the 4 Club Challenge was held in February at the Monaro Equestrian Association Dressage Championship Weekend.
