EXTRA SUPPORT AVAILABILITY

We are excited to offer FREE warm-up sessions with highly respected Tasmanian dressage coach Bernadette Gibson. These sessions are especially aimed at new riders, young or green combinations and riders who may not have been out competing for a while. This gives you the chance to settle your horse, gain a bit of confidence and head into your test feeling prepared. Please note: if we have an oversubscription, first preference will be given to those riders as mentioned above.

We are also happy to be able to provide an experienced test caller if you wish to have your test called.

Notes:
* All classes are run in accordance with current Equestrian Australia (EA) Dressage Rules.
* Riders must be Dressage Tasmania (DTas) or EA members (discount applies for DTas members!)
* Riders in Unofficial classes may be either DTas, EA Participant or EA Competitor members.
* Riders in Official & Pony classes must be EA Competitor members and horses must hold a current EA Dressage License.
