Brigid and Johnny - Level 3 overall Series Champions for the MAD Series 2019/20
Woo hoo...go you good thing! Our fabulous outgoing president Kristen and Eddie Perfect win the Jackpot level 3 at TTT Dressage held in Benalla during November. One test she was a whopping 7% above the second competitor. Welcome to Level 2 you champions! Our team finished a very credible 27th from 132 teams over the weekend.

We are lucky as a club to have HRCAV and EA dressage judge, Berni Saunders as a regular instructor. At our recent protocol day, not only did Berni judge 2 dressage tests for each rider but she also took photos of each rider before their first test to help them understand her feedback. She generously shared her knowledge, expertise, tips and photos. Ree set the pencilling bar very high by recording all feedback (official and unofficial) for riders to provide maximum value. A great day. Here are some of our members enjoying the special tuition.

In July, some of our members enjoyed a fantastic weekend at the AEBC - the Australian Equine Behaviour Centre where they stayed over with their trusty mounts. A weekend of super lessons both flat and poles/jumps, good company and a few wines. This has become an annual event for the club and is an eagerly anticipated even on our club calendar.
