💎 Final Dressage Day of 2025 💎
It was a warm and dry end to our 2025 Dressage season at but that didn’t deter anyone from having an exceptional day ☀️ Congratulations to all competitors for your kind riding and camaraderie. It’s great to see so many happy horses and smiling riders 🥰
Despite another huge year at our tireless volunteer army never seem to miss a beat. Thank you to Emma for your many hours of surface preparation and to Jess and the whole O’Brien clan for your record arena set up time 💨 to the agistees who work all week to prepare the grounds, there are a thousand jobs happening behind the scenes - thank you.
To our exceptional judges today - Felicity, Kaz, Belinda, Maria, Lyn, Jen, Alice and Sarah for your passion and commitment 🙌 and a BIG thank you to all the members and competitors that jumped in to pencil - Kaitlin, Laura, Elese, Lilly, Jen, Molly, Michael, Di, Belinda, Chrissie, Kate and Pauline 🫶
To Kerry, our incredible steward who keeps all the wheels turning. Your mints and liquorice for the horses and your words of encouragement for the riders for a huge non-stop 8 hours have become legendary 🙏 thank you!
And lastly, to Alyssa, Heidi, Kate, Eloise and Molly who stuck around to pack down and make sure the arena is ready to go for the weeks lessons and clinics, it’s a hot job at the end of a long day - thank you 🫡
Finally, we say goodbye and wish all the best of luck to Brittany from Blue Ribbon Photography, who so beautifully captured our Dressage competitions, following her move to Western Australia. With big shoes to fill, we’re thrilled Marzana from was able to attend today and capture those magic moments. The album will be available later in the week - stay tuned 😍
Enjoy your summer break or summer training (or a bit of both) and we’ll see you back between the white boards in 2026! Happy Riding ❤️
