Summer Series Competition Schedule: VENUE MAP
Please Note - Numbers taken are very dependant on what we can fit into one arena, this may change from test to test. We may not be able to take all nominated entries which are received, if we are oversubscribed entries will be taken on sydney dressage members and receipt date of entries.
An accepted entry on nominate does not guarantee you a ride until the draw has been done.
Venue Map
The Sydney dressage inc. committee aims to create a vibrant and active dressage community, and have put our “agile” thinking hats on to create the “Sydney Dressage Inc. Summer Series”. In june 2021 our committee surveyed the dressage community on the summer event format. It is with the feedback of this survey, and The support of Dressage NSW, that we are now implementing this new competition format. This series comprises of the following:
run at Ballodair Park Equestrian Centre in the Hawkesbury
run during the week over 7 weeks
Each afternoon will host one test from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm (SATURDAY is AM)
run across both indoor and outdoor arenas (Outdoor competition arena)
Tests are run in accordance with EA rules
official competitive tests
It is expected that all competitors read, and comply with, all venue rules as communicated on nominate and draw correspondence. these rules are subject to change as we learn to navigate this new competition format.

As this is a private venue, the premises have limited capacity for vehicles, people, and horses. This means we will be timetabling arrival and departure times for each competitor. We will also be requesting that each competitor only bring one support person. It should also be noted that there will be no catering available. Aside from these aspects, all components of standard format dressage competitions can be expected.
