Young Dressage Association Members Championship

Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Covid19 and the prior planning that is required for these types of events, Young Dressage Association’s usual three-day championship was condensed into 1.5 days of competition for Members only this year, across the 10-11th April. This did not put a dampener on the event, with 120 riders competing in over 300 tests.

YDA is renowned for professionally run events, a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, meaning the Club has a membership that is spread far and wide, with Members travelling from Dubbo, Bathurst, Orange, Albury, Canberra, Southern Highlands and everywhere in between to attend the 2021 Donges Supa IGA Members Championship.
