The day will start off with an afternoon ride around the Bemboka Common (for those who wish to bring their horses), then continue into the evening with drinks, nibbles and awards. Our super culinary people will be catering for the evening providing a tasty BBQ.
*If your surname starts with A to K please bring a salad, if your surname starts with L – Z please bring a dessert.
What more could you ask for? A beautiful day on the South Coast, sunbeams, a dressage competition and great people.
The numbers seemed to be down for the day, with quite a few scratchings, but the quality of the horse and rider combinations were super.
A big thank you to our judges for the day Nell Marshman, Larissa Chadwick and Marissa Brant, also to our pencillers, Judy Bourke, Sue Hergenhan, Victoria Smith and to our wonderful catering team, Les Hayes & Wop who also double as Pip’s strapper.
We were lucky to watch the lovely DP Impressions go round for his first Official dressage test. Lauren and DP Impressions have an impressive record in the Hacking world which includes placing Runner Up Large Hack at the 2015 Equestrian NSW Horse of the Year on the 6th Mar 2015. Hopefully we will see Lauren and DP Impressions for future competitions.
Thanks to everyone that made the September competition successful.

The FEI World Cup Finals Jumping & Dressage have begun in Las Vegas. Charlotte and Valegro have once again blitzed the field with a whopping score of 85.414%, Edward Gal riding Glocks Undercover N.O.P following in second place with a score of 79.057% and Stephan Peter’s on Legolas scoring 76.843%. The top eight riders receiving a total prize pool of 25,000.00 USD.
Looking through the competitors list to see which Australians are competing in Vegas, there was one Australian rider who’s name stood out. One Lane Clarke born in 1985 show jumper from Australia. I’m not sure if “our” (yes taking ownership) Lane Clarke is riding in Vegas, but how exciting would it be if he was and no doubt in the future this very talented show jumper will be up there with the worlds best.
FEI TV are streaming the World Cup LIVE, although you will have to be an early riser, and pay a fee to join, this is a great way to get your dressage fix. The next Dressage Finals will be streaming on 19th April at 4:50am. There is a link from the World Cup home page for live viewing.
Standby for more updates.
Record numbers were in attendance at the FSCDA’s first event for the year. We couldn’t have asked for better weather for both days. Saturday was well attended by many who took advantage of Nell Marshman Judges School. We would like to thank Nell and Nell’s Handmaiden for coming down to Cobargo and giving us her time and expertise. A lot was learnt and I am sure everyone has gone home with a greater understanding and perspective of what a judge is looking for in the dressage arena.
Sunday saw the biggest field of horse and rider combinations in FSCDA history with 3 arenas and over 90 entries.
A big congratulations to the winners and placegetters along with all the competitors. Results can be found on the here. Thank you to our judges Nell Marshman, Pip Collins and Yvonne Wilson, as well as the pencillers, for your time. The club would also like to thank all of those involved in making our fist event the success it was.
We all know that our days couldn’t run without the generous help of our major sponsors, and they are;

The April 26th Training Day has been postponed due to 100th anniversary ANZAC day events. However, Paul has offered to put an arena up at Cobargo if anyone wanted to go and play. There would be a small fee to cover the ground costs. Please contact Paul if you are interested.
Liz Pugh has offered to come on Saturday the 30th May and conduct a Protocol day before Sundays Competition. This will be a great follow up from the Nell Marshman Judges Seminar.
