The club described the inaugural event as “extremely successful”. “And already to date we have seen nominations from riders from both the state and interstate … to which we are extremely excited,” said Allissia Curry, a committee member and dressage rider at the club.

“This year’s competition is set to raise the bar even higher with the level of classes available and the quality of horses and riders eager to ride at this great facility.”

Curry said the club was a “very progressive”. She said the club not only strived to take care of their members but to also offer “great competitions to competitors from near and far”.

“As part of this great event we are looking towards local businesses, who are maybe seeking a new audience, and who are maybe in a position to offer in some way sponsorship, to enable us to take care of our judges, competitors and volunteers,” she said.

“Our sponsors will be given numerous social media interactions with competitors and our Facebook followers, along with various opportunities to promote your company throughout the AELEC facility.”
