Hello members
We will be offering official dressage tests from Prep to Medium on Saturday the 3rd May, and protocol tests on Sunday the 4th May.
We are lucky to have PollyAnn Huntington, EA A-level judge for this event, so please support this show where you can.
Entries close 29th April , Tuesday at 6pm . No LATE entries accepted.
Test and protocol nominations will be on Nominate for this show, link below

You will notice an additional $5 charge, this is for our ground development fee, which will go towards our new indoor arena project. Unfortunately levy fees that are determined by the EA has increased this year, so we have reduced the first test amount to help alleviate any financial burden .
Please note, jobs are allocated per horse, so please ensure you attend your helper duty, or if you have a query please contact the dressage subcommittee via emaildressage@gcec.org.au. Before the event.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Happy riding!

The process is very good educational tool and generates cooperation between judges, riders and coaches. It will benefit riders at all levels.

Happy riding
