The Southern Flinders Dressage club is situated at the spacious Murray Town Oval in South Australia, just south of the beautiful Mount Remarkable.
The club was founded in 2011 to provide competitive and training opportunities for riders, using accredited judges and coaches. As a club, we strive to maintain a positive and professional environment, where riders are encouraged and supported as they advance through the levels of dressage. We welcome riders of all ages and abilities, and strongly promote the participation of Junior riders.
Southern Flinders Dressage Club is affiliated with Equestrian Australia (EA). Affiliation with EA gives our club access to nationally qualified judges and coaches, and allows us to hold official competitions at which EA members can earn qualifications for State level dressage events.
Activities
The Southern Flinders Dressage Club event calendar for 2024 - 2025 consists of 4 dressage competitions (both EA official & unofficial), 4 showjumping days, 4 non-comp days and 3 clinics. We also run a Dressage Series, a Showjumping Series, a Club Championships. We also have a High Points tally for all members with prizes & sashes at the end of the calendar year.
Facilities
The oval has 2 sand arenas; Arena A on the west side (in front of the clubrooms) and Arena B on the east side.
A wash bay has been installed on the southern end for competitors to use. There are signed designated areas for manure and scrap hay.
14 yards are available for hire on the eastern side of the oval. Yards can be pre-booked with entries or paid for on the day. Bookings will not be taken unless they are accompanied by payment. The oval offers camping on powered and non-powered sites. Toilets and showers are available. Camping arrangements at the oval are to be made with and paid to the Murray Town Progress Association.
